Martin Minski
Martin Minski (born 23 August 1969) is a German composer of chess endgame studies. His compositions are predominantly of tactical nature and often have surprising visual effects.[1] His studies have won competitions numerous times; among his most notable are the second-place finishes at the World Championship of Chess Composition (behind Oleg Pervakov) and at the FIDE World Cup for Chess Composition 2019 (behind Sergiy Didukh).[2][3]
In 2020, Minski has been appointed Grandmaster of chess composition[4] and is the first German chess composer devoted exclusively to endgame studies to merit that distinction.[citation needed]
Minski lives in Berlin and works as a mathematics teacher.[1]
