Very sad. He was active even a few months ago. I published this interesting miniature of his (his last original?) in the May 2019 Problemist. The same issue also contains a nicely compiled short collection of his problems showing his versatality.
 (= 5+2 )
Ser-H#7
Ser-h=7
Easy to solve with piquant change of promotion.

Why not -Ph5, -Ph6, Pg6->h6?

Surely he didn't like the same moves g5-g4-g3 ... in both phases.

I would probably go for bPh2 (without the white h pawns) and ser-h#/=3. Pushing the pawn feels more like noise, even in the case of an Excelsior.

Or letzform both in condition ser h#(=)2 and in economy Wenigstener (2+2). But in series problems it is better to be more moves, so maybe GM György Bakcsi had this in the mind.
Scheme:
 (= 2+2 )
a.) ser h#2
b.) ser h=2
a.) 1.d2-d1=R 2.Rd1-g1 Qf5-h3 #
b.) 1.d2-d1=S 2.Sd1-f2 Qf5*f2 =

Well, but where is promotion to Q here?

this is a different scheme/problem.

Here is a short tribute in Chessbase-India https://chessbase.in/news/An-obituary-article-on-Gy-rgy-Bakcsi. Nicely written by our Indian friend and author Satanick Mukhuty.

Danish composer Holger Helledie died earlier this week.
I want to share with you a problem of his that he showed me some years back when I was entering the world of chess problems.
 (= 5+8 )
ser-h#17

I will leave the solving to you :-)

Yes, subtle motivations for all four AUW promotions, especially the key and the rook-promotion. Also, no capture what is rare for such promotion tasks!

The bishop at c5 saves a unit.

Thanks! I guess the bishop is even better on c5, because it is less obvious that the mate is on the long diagonal.

Yes. BC5 seems so obvious. I thought there was a cook and that is why composer did not use!

Maybe it was too dangerous for him without help of computers.

yes. guarding two squares in the diagram would seem risky !
