View source for International Judge of Chess Compositions

'''International Judge of Chess Compositions''' is a title award by [[FIDE]] via the [[World Federation for Chess Composition]] (WFCC; until 2010 ''Permanent Commission of the FIDE for Chess Compositions'', PCCC) to individuals who have judged several [[chess problem]] or [[study (chess)|study]] tournaments and who are considered capable of judging such awards at the highest level.
The title was first awarded in 1956. In the past, a number of famous over-the-board players have also been International Judges, including [[Mikhail Botvinnik]], [[Vasily Smyslov]], [[David Bronstein]], [[Paul Keres]], [[Yuri Averbakh]] and [[Wolfgang Unzicker]], though in modern times the title is generally held by individuals largely unknown outside the world of problems. Many notable problem and study composers are also International Judges, including [[Genrikh Kasparyan]].
