Timeline

1940

During the 40th Chess Olympiad in Istanbul Solomon earned his final GM norm.

Although Solomon has never reached the rating of 2500 that is usually required for the Grandmaster title, a special FIDE rule allows winners of continental championships to earn the title regardless of rating, and he did so by winning the African Chess Championship in December 2014.

This made him the first chess grandmaster from South Africa, the second grandmaster from sub-Saharian Africa after Amon Simutowe of Zambia, and the fourth black chess grandmaster in history.
