Josef Plachutta (* 13.05.1827 - † 22.07.1883)
Austrian-Slovenian chess composer
Josef Plachutta was a specialist of moremovers and selfmates in chess. He participated to all the first composition tourneys of the end of the 19th century and left his name to a moremover theme:
"A white piece sacrifices itself on a square where it could be captured by one of two similarly-moving black pieces (for example, a bishop and a queen moving along a diagonal, or two rooks) moving along a different line; whichever black piece captures, it interferes with the other."
Plachutta's first realization of the theme is quoted on Wikipedia.
