2025 is going to get a tragic year for the #chess world. After Robert Hübner and Boris Spassky another legend passed away: Friðrik Ólafsson at age 90. He was the first grandmaster in #Iceland, a world class player at his peak and FIDE president. There is an extensive documentation of his career by the Skáksögufélagið (#Icelandic Chess Heritage Society). #chesshistory #RIP (📷 Wijk aan Zee 1969)
