Roman Tylkowski was a Polish chess master.

[1] He was a well-known player in Poznań, Poland, in the 1930s and 1940s.

He represented the city in 1934 and 1948 in the Polish Chess Team Championships.

[2][3][4] Tylkowski is probably best known for participation in the game Tylkowski – Wojciechowski, Poznań 1931 [de] against Antoni Wojciechowski at Poznań 1931 in which Wojciechowski played his famous combination.

[5][6][7] While the game is documented on many websites and is included in a well-known chess book (see references), there is some dispute regarding the moves in this game and whether it even occurred.
