Salo Flohr
Czech chess player, arbiter, theoretician, organiser and writer / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Salomon Mikhailovich Flohr (November 21, 1908 ā July 18, 1983) was a Czechoslovak and Soviet chess player and writer. He was among the first recipients of the title International Grandmaster from FIDE in 1950. Flohr dominated many tournaments of the pre-World War II years, and by the late 1930s was considered a contender for the World Championship. However, his patient, positional style was overtaken by the sharper, more tactical methods of the younger Soviet echelon after World War II.[citation needed]
