FIDE President Folke Rogard: The Lawyer Who Organized Chess in the Shadow of the Cold War - Hardcover
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.

About the Author
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. He 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.
Reviews
Thinkers Publishing House has done it again – an absolute must-have for any student of chess history. And let’s be honest, aren’t we all, deep down, a bit of that? This book is a goldmine of information about Folke Rogard, not just in his role as FIDE president, but covering all aspects of his life. A truly magnificent book!
