 Pal Charles Benko (July 15, 1928 – August 25, 2019) was a Hungarian and American chess player, author, and composer of endgame studies and chess problems. -from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pal_Benko

Pal Benko was one of the greatest chess composers to walk the earth. I did a google search for Christmas chess problems and I was ecstatic to find that Pal Benko had dabbled in the field.

I hope you enjoy and, if you celebrate, Merry Christmas!
