Once again, I am belatedly announcing the passing of an eminent Brazilian problemist. Sebastião Antônio da Silva, a well-known and respected composer of studies, passed away on January 27, 2022, in a hospital located on the same street where he lived, in the Copacabana neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro. He was 93 years old.
Sabastião was a man of exceptional talent and intelligence. He learned Russian, I don’t know how, so that he could read specialized Russian magazines on problems. He was a translator by profession, he used to translate from German and Latin into Portuguese. He also had literary inclinations. I read on the Internet, with pleasure and delight, one of his poems. Sebastião had a moment of recognition for his unforgettable legacy to Brazilian problemism when he visited, in 2009, the venue where the WFCC Congress was held in Rio de Janeiro.
In his honor, we will soon launch a composition tournament, along with a similar tribute to our dear Almiro Zarur.
I would like to thank Bruno Garcia Perez for researching and finding Sebastião's death certificate, just as he had done for Almiro Zarur.
Below, I reproduce one of the intriguing studies composed by Sebastião, which has already challenged the skills of masters and grandmasters of solving chess.
