Artur Popławski

Artur Popławski (1860, in Warsaw – 1918, in Warsaw) was a Polish chess master.

He started his studies at Imperial University of Warsaw (with a Russian language) in 1879, and moved to ETH Zurich (Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich) in 1884.

In 1883/84, he took second place, behind Józef Żabiński, in the Warsaw City Chess Championship, scoring 19/22.[1] In Switzerland, Poplawski twice shared first place with Max Pestalozzi in the Swiss Chess Championship, at Zürich in 1889 and at Winterthur in 1890.[2]

He returned to Warsaw in the early 1890s and worked as an engineer.
