Chess composing
Meyer's small tasks are part of the important body of composition literature;
he presented several composition topics such as Bristol and Indian in an extremely economical way.
In his chess work published in 1882, Meyer introduced the so-called universal notation as a proposal for a worldwide notation standard, which, however, did not prevail.
The chess pieces would be named with the letters from K to P.[2]
