was a Latvian chess player and one of world's most highly regarded chess
masters in the early 1930s. He was also a leading endgame composer. He died
of tuberculosis at the age of 38.
In 1924, Matisons won the first Latvian Chess Championship tournament. Later
that year he finished ahead of Euwe and Colle to win the first World Amateur
Championship, which was organized in conjunction with the Paris Olympic
Games. Matisons played first board for Latvia at the 1931 Chess Olympiad in
Prague and defeated Rubinstein and Alekhine, who was the World Champion at
that time.
Below are 25 of his studies :
