Velimir Kalandadze (Georgian: ველიმირ კალანდაძე; May 10, 1935 – October 27, 2017) was a Georgian physicist and chess composer. He held the titles of Master of Chess Composition (1979) and International Master of Chess Composition (1984).[1] In over-the-board chess he achieved the rank of Candidate Master of Sports of the USSR.[2]

Kalandadze was a laureate of numerous international composition competitions. He won first prizes in the Lelo competition (1961, jointly with Vazha Neidze), the Olympic Composition Competition (1976, jointly with David Gurgenidze), Shakhmaty v SSSR (1979), and 64—Shakhmatnoye Obozreniye (1984), among others.[2] He competed in 10 USSR Championships of Chess Composition between 1965 and 1985, with his best result being 4th place in the 14th Championship (1983).[3] As a composer of endgame studies, he specialized in rook endings.

Biography

[edit]

From the 1950s, Kalandadze published chess problems in the newspaper Lelo, initially in collaboration with his father, Ioseb Kalandadze, and later independently. He graduated from the Faculty of Physics at Tbilisi State University and worked for several years in scientific institutions.[4] Alongside composition, he was active in chess journalism and for many years edited chess columns in the newspapers Molodyozh Gruzii and Sakartvelos Respublika.[5]
