Salomon Mikhailovich Flohr (November 21, 1908 – 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.
