Claude Goumondy (* 19.7.1946 in Belmont) French composer and Grandmaster, see wikipedia de, fr, it, lv, ru. "Claude Goumondy is International Judge in threemovers and helpmates, which are exactly what he composes most. He has a predilection for cyclic themes (cyclic exchange of White moves), geometric themes and tasks. From 1977 until 1982 he was the twomover and threemover editor of French magazine "diagrammes". In 1984 he became the youngest composition Grandmaster, at the age of 38. He seems to have stopped composing in 1993."
