The first entries for the World Championship in Composing for Individuals (WCCI 2016-18) organized by the World Federation of Chess Composition have been published. The deadline for submitting the compositions is 20th January 2019.
The five judges for endgame studies (Section D) are Péter Gyarmati, Harold van der Heijden, Martin Minski, Steffen Slumstrup Nielsen and myself. This is the first time I judge such an important tournament. Although it seems strange to be a judge and a participant at the same time in a competition, the rules are made in such a way that self-judging is avoided. Therefore, I plan to participate as a composer too.
