In 1969 at the World Congress of Chess Composition in Varna he was included in the subcommittee drafting a regulation on holding World Chess Solving Championship. The following year he moved to Frankfurt at the invitation of Gerhard Jensch, where they finalized their ideas on the regulation of the championship and at the idea of Nikolay Dimitrov it was decided to be a team championship. The proposal was approved at the next World Congress yet, held in The Hague (the Netherlands) in 1971, and then it was finally approved at the congress in Pula (Yugoslavia) in 1972.
In 1976 an experimental tournament under this Regulation took place in Varna, involving representative teams from Bulgaria, Finland, FRG, Yugoslavia, USSR, Poland, Romania and Hungary. Through this tournament some weaknesses in the system were found and after the correction thereof in 1977 during the World Congress of Chess Composition in Yugoslavia the first World Chess Solving Championship was held, having as its judge Nikolay Dimitrov.
