A chess composer is a person who creates endgame studies or chess problems. He usually specializes in a particular genre, e.g. endgame studies, twomovers, threemovers, moremovers, helpmates, selfmates, fairy problems. Moreover, every composer has his own preferred style of composing, allowing his sorting according to so-called composition schools.

Some chess composers produce huge numbers of chess compositions, while others try to achieve as much quality as possible and present new works only rarely.

It is possible for chess composers to gain official FIDE titles, usually for a given number of problems published in FIDE Albums. For example, Milan Vukcevich was a International Grandmaster of Chess Composition, as well as an International Master player.

The PCCC (Permanent Commission for Chess Composition) is a branch of FIDE regulating the awarding of titles such as International Grandmaster, International master, Master FIDE and International Judge for chess composition.
