  • Comins Mansfield MBE (14 June 1896 – 27 March 1984) was a chess problem composer. He gained the title International Grandmaster for chess compositions in 1972 and 94.33 points in the FIDE Album. Mansfield was born in the village of Witheridge, near Tiverton in Devon, England, the son of Herbert John Mansfield, who had long played correspondence chess for Devon. He attended Blundell's School in Tiverton and there began to take an interest in the game. He was inspired by a 1910 article in the British Chess Magazine that contained chess problems, and soon won first prize for a two-mover published in a Plymouth newspaper. After leaving school, he joined the tobacco company W. D. & H. O. Wills, which remained his employer for 45 years, firstly in Bristol and later in Glasgow. While still in Bristol, he won the Gloucestershire county chess championship every year from 1927 to 1934. In 1936, published A Genius of the Two-Mover, which included 100 of the 300-or-so problems that Mansfield had composed over the past 20 years; and, in 1944, White also published Mansfield's Adventures in Composition – The Art of the Two Move Chess Problem in a limited edition. This book was re-published in the UK in 1948. When Mansfield retired from Wills in around 1960, he moved to Paignton, Devon. He became FIDE's first Master for Chess Composition in 1959, becoming President of FIDE's Problem Commission in 1963. The following year he took over as the Sunday Telegraph's chess columnist and retained that post until 1978. He was made International Grandmaster FIDE in 1972 and was awarded the MBE for his services to chess in 1976. (en)

  • Comins Mansfield (Witheridge, 14 giugno 1896 – Paignton, 28 marzo 1984) è stato un compositore di scacchi inglese. Il suo nome piuttosto inusuale fu scelto dal padre, Herbert John Mansfield, per ricordare Miss Comins, una governante cui era stato affidato nell'infanzia. Compose il suo primo problema all'età di 15 anni. Nell'arco di 65 anni, fino alla morte all'età di 87 anni, compose 980 problemi, tutti di matto in due. È probabilmente l'unico problemista che ha composto unicamente i classici "due mosse". Giustificò questa scelta dicendo: «La vita è troppo breve per poter fare altro». Nel 1956 fu nominato dalla FIDE Arbitro Internazionale della composizione. Nel 1972 fu tra i primi quattro compositori che ricevettero il titolo di Grande Maestro della composizione. È stato finora l'unico inglese, oltre a Norman Macleod, ad ottenere questo titolo. Comins Mansfield ha contribuito in modo determinante allo sviluppo dei problemi classici in due mosse nel XX secolo. Le sue composizioni sono caratterizzate da idee originali, economia, rigore, chiarezza e potenza espressiva. È considerato un genio del due mosse. Mansfield è stato presidente della British Chess Problem Society (BCPS) dal 1949 al 1951, e presidente della Commissione permanente per la composizione scacchistica (PCCC) dal 1963 al 1971. Di professione era impiegato in una manifattura di tabacchi di Bristol. (it)
