Alexandre Pikulik


Alexandre Vasilievich Pikulik (born 1933) was a Soviet composer (from Belarus?). WinChloe and the PDB contain 15 of his direct-mate miniatures (taken from the Zuncke/Bruder miniatures collection), but neither database has anything else by him. I believe that the Harold van der Heijden database contains 4 of his studies. Can anyone supply biographical information or any problems/studies that are not in WinChloe or the PDB?

You can find some biographical information plus some of his problems in the book "Shakhmatnaya Kompozitsiya v Belorussii" (Chess Composition in Byelorussia), Minsk, 1981 (DJVU-file available at http://problem64.beda.cz/silo/sachmatnaja_kompozicija_v_belorusiji_1981.djvu p.63 + p.129)

Many thanks Mario and Neal! I've managed to open the DJVU file, but I can't select text. Could someone please translate the biography on the top of page 63, or else paste the Russian text here, so that I can use an online translator?

Thanks Joost! From this it seems that he was born in 1933 in Minsk region and his chess composition began in 1958. He had about 140 problems/studies published (about 15 studies), with more than 20 awards. For more I need a Russian speaker!

I'm not a good Russian speaker, as a first aid it should be mentioned that several typos in Joost's post disable the online translating. Letters и(i) and н(n) appeared confusable. A rough correction:

Александр Васильевич Пикулик родился в 1933 году в Минской области, культпросветработник. Шахматной композицией начал заниматься в 1958 году. Творческий диапазон А. Пикулика велик: он составляет задачи, этюды, значительное внимание уделяет шашечной композиции. Опубликовал около 140 задач, преимущественно двухходовых, и 15 этюдов, получил более 20 отличий на конкурсах.

Pikulik Alexander was born in 1933 in the Minsk region, cultural-educational-worker. Chess composition started in 1958. A creative range of Pikulik is great: he composes problems, studies, pays great attention to checkers composition. Published about 140 problems, mostly twomovers, and 15 studies, has received more than 20 distinctions in the tourneys.
