- "An artistic impression is substantially the resultant of two components. One what the work of art gives the onlooker — the other, what he is capable of giving to the work of art."
Arnold Schönberg (* 13.9.1874 in Vienna, † 13.7.1951 in Los Angeles). "An Artistic Impression" (1909) in "Style and Idea" (1985), p. 189. The celebrated composer and music theorist also invented a chess variant ("Koalitionsschach", see wikipedia.de and the article "Music, chess and Arnold Schönberg" on en.chessbase from 16.11.2022). On September 13 was his 150th birthday.
Chess puzzle. White has to create a threat by activating wRa2. The key 1. Ra5 threatens quietly 2. Rxc5 3. Rc7#. If the bR leaves the d-file Rxd5#, on 1.. Rxd4 2. Rxc5 Rc4 3. Rxd5 and on 1.. Bf3 the short mates 2. Ba4#. The main variation is 1.. Bb5 2. Bxg6 (3. Bf5#) and on the black defenses 2.. Bd3, Re2, Rf2 again 3. Rxd5#
Gabriel Léon-Martin (* 29.10.1885, † 31.5.1970) French composer. He lived in Paris. "Gabriel Léon-Martin composed in all genres. He was most known outside France for his fairy problems, but in his own country he established his reputation as a composer of strategic moremovers. He mostly enjoyed strategic miniatures. He was a founding member of the Permanent Commission for Chess Composition of the FIDE (1954) and obtained the title of International Judge in 1957. More information about him and more problems by him can be found in French on Problemiste.fr or on pages 312-313, Thèmes 64 Nr.20 \ 1960."
His wife organized the French Chess Championships for Women in prewar time: "Jusqu'à la seconde guerre mondiale, devant le peu de concurrentes, les joueuses étrangères résidant en France étaient admises. Le titre de championne de France était attribué à la française la mieux classée. L'organisation des championnats de cette période doit beaucoup à Mme Jeanne Léon-Martin, femme du problémiste Gabriel Léon-Martin. Elle a été la cheville ouvrière de quasiment tous les championnats "d'avant-guerre".
