Ludwig Adolf Friedrich Hans Rellstab ( 23 November 1904 in Schöneberg - 14 February 1983 in Wedel ) was a German chess master . At around eleven years of age, Rellstab learned to play chess in his family environment. After graduating from high school in 1924, he began studying mathematics and physics at the university in his hometown of Berlin that same year. He later transferred to the University of Munich to study the same subjects . After a few semesters, he gave up his studies without graduating and earned his living from then on as a chess player and chess writer, from 1932 to 1943 as a permanent journalist at the Scherl publishing house in Berlin. From April 1943 to September 1944, he headed the editorial team of the Deutsche Schachzeitung.

Luděk Pachman (German: Ludek Pachmann, May 11, 1924 – March 6, 2003) was a Czechoslovak-German chess grandmaster, chess writer, and political activist.  The first break in his chess career came in 1943, when he was invited to an international tournament in Prague. World Champion Alexander Alekhine dominated the event, with Paul Keres taking second place. Pachman finished ninth in the nineteen-player tournament. Alekhine paid him a compliment in an article in the Frankfurter Zeitung and from the fifth round on, invited him every evening to analyze games and opening variations. Pachman wrote: "I don't have to tell you how a beginner from a village chess club felt at that time."
