Timeline
Albert Charles Simonson (December 26, 1914 in New York City – November 16, 1965 in San Juan, Puerto Rico) was an American chess master.
He was one of the strongest American players of the 1930s, and was part of the American team which won the gold medals at the 1933 Chess Olympiad.
Simonson was certainly at least of International Master strength, based on his limited playing career.
Simonson was born into a wealthy family.
His father Leo was a successful wigmaker to the Manhattan rich and the theatre and movie businesses.
His mother Irene was from the family that owned the Illinois Watch Case Co. in Elgin, Illinois.
. Simonson showed precocious skill with chess, soon after learning the game.
At New York 1933, he scored 7/10 to tie for 2nd-3rd places, behind only winner Reuben Fine.
This earned him selection to the United States chess Olympiad team at age 18.
In the Olympiad, at Folkestone 1933, he played on the first reserve board and scored 3/6, as the Americans won the team gold medals.
In the 17th Championship of the Marshall Chess Club, 1933–34, Simonson scored 7/11 to finish 6th.
In the 1935 U.S. Open at Milwaukee, he scored 5.5/10 to tie for 4th-6th places.
His total in four U.S. Championships was 35.5/58, for 61.2 per cent.
In the first modern U.S. Chess Championship, New York City 1936, Simonson placed second with 11/15, behind only winner Samuel Reshevsky.
He scored 11/16 in the 1938 United States Championship at New York, to finish third, behind Reshevsky and Fine.
In the United States Championship of 1940, again at New York, he tied for 4th-5th places, with 10/16, behind Reshevsky, Fine, and Isaac Kashdan.
Simonson defeated Reshevsky in a Metropolitan League team match in 1950, at a time when Reshevsky was among the world's top five players.
Simonson was ranked sixth in the country on the very first official rating list, issued in 1950, from the United States Chess Federation.
Simonson was a pioneer in the direct mail business field.
He served with the United States Army during World War II, attaining the rank of Sergeant.
According to his close friend, Grandmaster Arnold Denker, from the acclaimed book by Denker and Larry Parr -- The Bobby Fischer I Knew And Other Stories—Simonson was very skilled at indoor card and board games, but had a serious gambling problem.
He was married three times, and fathered three children.
There is a small selection of his games at chessbase.com.
However, in the 1951 U.S. Championship in New York, Simonson finished tied for 11th-12th, with only 3.5/11.
