Though a master player in his own right, Fred Reinfeld will certainly be best remembered as the most prolific writer on the game in its history. He won the 1931 and 1933 New York State Championship and was ranked 6th by the USCF in 1950. His career highlights include wins against Samuel Reshevsky, Reuben Fine, Frank Marshall, and Arnold Denker, and a draw against Alexander Alekhine. However, his true passion laid in chess writing. Over three decades he authored more than 100 titles on a range of subjects, including game collections, biographies, and opening, middlegame, and endgame strategy. He was also an extremely active writer outside of chess, authoring dozens of books on numismatics, philately, geology, history, medicine, physics, political science, jurisprudence, astronomy, and checkers.
