Walkabout
A tribute to Touw Hian Bwee (1943-2025)
4 May 2026
The great problemist Touw Hian Bwee of Indonesia has passed away on 12 December 2025, at the age of 82. He became a Grandmaster for chess composition in 1984 when he was 40, the only person from Asia ever to have acquired the prestigious title. Touw (his surname) primarily composed orthodox two-movers, though his output also includes some top-notch longer problems. His composing style can be described as classical, with a predilection for strategic ideas like batteries and pins that make his sophisticated works relatively accessible.
