Savielly Tartakower (also known as Xavier Tartakower, 21 February 1887 – 4 February 1956) was a chess player who was awarded the title of International Grandmaster in its inaugural year, 1950. He was also a chess journalist and author during the 1920s and 1930s, and was noted for his many witticisms. Alongside other grandmasters Aron Nimzowitsch and Richard Réti, he was a leading figure in hypermodernism.
He also started cooperating with various chess magazines, and wrote several books and brochures on chess. The most famous of these, Die Hypermoderne Schachpartie (The Hypermodern Chess Game) was published in 1924 and has been issued in almost 100 editions since.
"The winner of the game is the player who makes the next-to-last mistake."
"I never defeated a healthy opponent." (This refers to players who blame an illness for their loss.)
