Synopsis

This book is, in one way, a biography of Folke Rogard, focusing mostly on his roles

as FIDE President and organizer of modern chess. However, it only briefly discusses

the other facets of his life as a father, husband, lawyer, businessman, and in private.

The portrayal of Rogard primarily centers on his organization of chess and his presidency

of FIDE, a position he held for more than two decades. Being in that genre, it aims to capture his personality -what his driving forces were and the constraints that held him back.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

HENRIK MALM LINDBERG is an associate professor in economic history at Uppsala University, a fellow at the Ratio Institute, and works as deputy Head of Secretariat at the Migration Studies Delegation. He is a regular contributor to many chess periodicals, writing mainly about historical aspects of the game or the players. Henrik Malm Lindberg is a masterclass player, once barely above 2300, but those days seem to be gone. His claim to fame as a player comes less from his draw with an eighty-year-old Svetozar Gligoric and more from the win against a ten-year-old Magnus Carlsen. FIDE-president Folke Rogard. The lawyer who organized chess in the shadow of the Cold War is his first biography.
