From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vsevolod Alfredovich Rauzer (16 October 1908 – 1941, Leningrad) was a Ukrainian chess master.
He tied for first in the 1927 Ukrainian Chess Championship with Alexey Selezniev, but lost the playoff to Selezniev, thus finishing second. He was the joint Ukrainian Champion in 1933. He took sixth at Leningrad 1933, the 8th USSR Chess Championship, won by future World Champion Mikhail Botvinnik. Rauzer finished fifth at Leningrad 1935, won by Vasily Panov, and shared first and second place with Vitaly Chekhover at Leningrad 1936 (All-Union Young Masters).[1]
He is best known as the chess theoretician who gave his name to the Richter–Rauzer variation of the Sicilian Defence (B60).
