Dénes Géczi (* Gyula, Tuesday 07.04.1925  -  † Sunday 22.12.1991)

Hungarian chess composer, born in Gyula.

He composed direct mates. Most of his chess problems were published in 1980.

‘The game of chess and chess composition. There is a fundamental difference between.

The chess game is a mere sequence of experiences of practical chess players - the opponents - of the actual event. Practical chess cannot therefore be considered an art according to our definition, as it lacks a more comprehensive representation of experience.

A post-production game analysis that organises, explores and it completes the raw material of the game, highlights the connections between the game events and presents the series of experiences more completely.

The chess composition, on the other hand, already has the character of a work of art at first glance. The chess author does not present his experiences to us in their raw state, but has first processed them, worked them into a uniform, sophisticated structure and thus presented them more completely. ’ (Dr György Páros, 1967)
