August 5th

Hans Lepuschütz (05-08-1910 - 06-09-1984) Austrian composer and International Master

Hans Lepuschütz was a great specialist of the logical multimover and a member of the Graz chess problem school (Grazer Schule) which linked logical combinations and aesthetic mate positions.
The Lepuschütz theme means chess provocation by White in a multimover, usually with a logical motivation. Hans Peter Rehm presented the Lepuschütz theme on berlinthema.de. Please have a look at these problems, you will not regret it.
MontFuji presented in detail (in French, on France-Echecs.com) a doubled Lepuschütz and pendular movements associated with the Lepuschütz theme, as well as pendular movements associated with the doubled Lepuschütz theme and a Holst promotion.

Here is an economical presentation of the theme in Meredith:
