Black-and-white portrait postcard

1930C3158Black-and-white portrait card of Salo Flohr. Duodeimo 5 1/2" x 3 1/2". Signed by Flohr. Shows a half-length portrait of Salo Flohr.Salomon Mikhailovich Flohr 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.Flohr's playing ability peaked in the mid-1930s when he became one of the world's strongest players and a leading contender for the World Championship. He became champion of Czechoslovakia in 1933 and 1936 and played in many tournaments throughout Europe generally finishing amongst the top three. Notable victories were at Bad SliaÄ in 1932 where he shared first place with Milan Vidmar; Scheveningen in 1933; Bad Liebenwerda in 1934 with 9Â½/11; Barcelona in 1935 where he tied for first with George Koltanowski; Moscow 1935 where he tied for first place with future World Champion Mikhail Botvinnik; PodÄ›brady in 1936 with the score of 10 âˆ’1 =6; and Kemeri in 1937 where he shared the top spot with Vladimir Petrov and Samuel Reshevsky. During this period he had several other notable high finishes such as Bern 1932 tied for second with 11Â½/15 after World Champion Alexander Alekhine; ZÃ¼rich 1934 tied for second with 12/15 again trailing Alekhine; and PÃ¤rnu 1937 second behind Paul Felix Schmidt.Condition: Sticker residue from pervious mounting to the verso of the card else very good.
