Roman Tylkowski Explained

Roman Tylkowski was a Polish chess master.[1]

He was a well-known player in Poznań, Poland, in the 1930s and 1940s. He represented the city in 1934 and 1948 in the Polish Chess Team Championships.[2] [3] [4]

Legacy

Tylkowski is probably best known for participation in the game against Antoni Wojciechowski at Poznań 1931 in which Wojciechowski played his famous combination.[5] [6] [7] While the game is documented on many websites and is included in a well-known chess book (see references), there is some dispute regarding the moves in this game and whether it even occurred.[8] [9] [10]
