Aaron Hirschenson  -  Two Move Editor


email Aaron
I was born in Jerusalem on 27 June 1943. I finished my studies in Jerusalem,  and
my professional occupation is in electronics. I am married to Rechel and have two daughters, one son, and two grandsons. I live in Metar, a village near Beer-Sheba.

I began an interest in chess problems when I was 16 year old. My first two mover was published in "Al Hmismar" Israel newspaper. The editor was Mr. Joef Goldshimdt. He told me and my friend Itzhak Grossman (with whom I composed many problem in my childhood together) about the great Israel composer Yosi Retter (who was at age 25 those days) He also taught us all of the new modern themes. Thanks to him I learned that people can enjoy composing chess problems and realize that it is artistic creation!

During the years I have composed 500 problems and have won many prizes. Some of my problems became famous, especially reciprocal change and all forms of the Lacny theme. I am judge of FIDE twomovers, and FIDE master for chess composition.

Please note that you will need to install our Good Companions Fonts in order to properly view pages containing chess diagrams.  If you are still unable to view the diagrams, see our Forsythe - Edwards Notation page to determine the board position.
