description: "Herman Steiner was an American chess player, organizer, and columnist.\nHe won the U.S. Chess Championship in 1948 and became International Master in 1950.\nEven more important than his playing career were his efforts promoting chess in the U.S., particularly on the West Coast.\nAn exemplar of the Romantic School of chess, Steiner was a successor to the American chess tradition of Paul Morphy, Harry Nelson Pillsbury, and Frank Marshall."
