Samuel "Sammy" Herman Reshevsky (born Szmul Rzeszewski; November 26, 1911 – April 4, 1992) was a Polish chess prodigy and later a leading American chess grandmaster.
 He was never a full-time chess professional.
 He was a strong contender for the World Chess Championship from the mid-1930s to the mid-1960s: he tied for third place in the 1948 World Chess Championship tournament, and tied for second in the 1953 Candidates Tournament.
 He was an eight-time winner of the U.S. Chess Championship.
 An outstanding match player throughout his career, Reshevsky excelled at positional play, and could be a brilliant tactician when required.
 He took a long time over his opening moves, and often found himself in time pressure, but this sometimes unsettled his opponent more than it did Reshevsky.
Georgy Konstantinovich Borisenko (May 25, 1922 in Chuhuiv, Ukraine—December 3, 2012 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan) was a Soviet correspondence chess grandmaster and chess theoretician.
 Among the players he trained were Nona Gaprindashvili, Valentina Borisenko (who was also his wife), Viktor Korchnoi, Mark Taimanov, and Timur Gareyev.
 He became a Russian Master of Sport in 1950 and a Russian Correspondence Grandmaster in 1966.
 He won the USSR Correspondence Championship twice, in 1957 and 1962, and came in second in 1965.
 One of his best-known games was played from 1960 to 1963 against Anatoly Rubezov, and is included in multiple anthologies of brilliant chess games.
 In 1973, David Bronstein described Borisenko as "one of our greatest theoretical experts."
 In Russia, the Breyer Variation of the Ruy Lopez is known as the "Borisenko-Furman" variation because Borisenko and Semyon Furman were central in bringing it into use in the 1950s.
 Another line of the Closed Ruy Lopez is also named after him; specifically, the line in the Chigorin Variation which goes 9...Na5 10.

Chess is a musical with music by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus of the pop group ABBA, and with lyrics by Tim Rice.
 The story involves a politically driven, Cold War-era chess tournament between two men—an American grandmaster and a Soviet grandmaster—and their fight over a woman who manages one and falls in love with the other.
 Although the protagonists were not intended to represent any real individuals, the character of the American grandmaster (named Freddie Trumper in the stage version) was loosely based on Bobby Fischer, while elements of the story may have been inspired by the chess careers of Russian grandmasters Viktor Korchnoi and Anatoly Karpov.
