Hello world!

Hello, friends of chess!

The objectives that I try to achieve with the creation of the "Chess Compositions" wiki are the following:

-- To write about chess compositions. I understand of course that there exist a lot of sites that publish chess problems, and also sites that publish entire books of problems. Here I will try with a systematic way to present  terminology  relative to the compositions.

-- To present composers of chess problems. There are composing tourneys, where composers try to create compositions complying with the theme that is specified by the Judge.

-- To present solvers. In solving contests, the solvers try to find the solutions of chess problems.

-- To present events, solving contests and composing tourneys, with an analytical, explanatory manner if I can, in order to offer initial guidance to anyone that wants to learn how to solve or create chess compositions.

Since I am Greek, I will possibly write more info about Greece. If my English is not very precise, or even not correct sometimes, please forgive me. English is a foreign language for me.

Surely, I cannot cover most of the international happenings, but I will do my best writing about the most prominent ones.

For things I am not aware of, your help is welcomed. That will be useful for all of us.

This wiki is NOT about chess games.

I will borrow content from my greek-language blog http://kallitexniko-skaki.blogspot.com. Thank you.
