Vsevolod Rauzer, born in Kiev in 1908, was one of the world's leading chess opening theoreticians and thinkers in the 1930s. As a player, he was an uncompromising attacker, trying to avoid draws as well as to prove that 1.e4 wins by force. According to Mikhail Botvinnik, "His opening research...with linked middlegame plans, gives us every reason to place V. Rauzer among the founders of the Soviet chess school."
