Ilya Lvovich Maizelis (Russian: Илья Львович Майзелис, born Uman, 28 December 1894, died Moscow 23 December 1978) was a Soviet chess player, writer, and theoretician.
Maizelis was better known as a writer than as a player. He played in several Moscow city championships during the 1920s and 1930s, his best result being 4th place in 1932.[1] Considered a "first category" player under the Soviet system,[2] the next rank below Master, his equivalent Elo rating in modern terms was in the 2200s.[3]
He was on the editorial board of 64 from 1925 to 1930, and was executive secretary of the English-language Soviet Chess Chronicle from 1943 to 1946. He was the author of a number of instructional works on chess and theoretical works on the endgame. He also translated a number of German language chess books into Russian, including Aron Nimzowitsch's My System and Emanuel Lasker's Manual of Chess.
