Jean Oudot (11-12-1926 - 29-12-1974) French chess composer

Jean Oudot composed in all genres with a preference for fairy chess problems. He edited from 1956 until 1963 the French magazine "Le problème" and from 1959 until 1974 the problem column of "Europe-Echecs". He was also an International Judge.                                                                                                                                                                              Confined to bed from childhood due to illness, he devoted his short life mainly to chess, and the (unresolved) Oudot theme originates from him:
