Vlastimil Hort (1944-2025) was born in Kladno and became a grandmaster in 1965. He won five Czechoslovak championships and international tournaments including Hastings in 1967-68 and Skopje in 1969. In the 1970 USSR-Rest of the World match, he scored an unbeaten victory over Lev Polugaevsky on fourth board. Hort reached the 1977 Candidates matches and narrowly lost to Boris Spassky. During that match, he gave Spassky additional recovery time when illness had exhausted the latter's permitted postponements. Hort moved to West Germany in 1985 and won the national championship there in 1987, 1989 and 1991. Across his career he played in fourteen Olympiads for Czechoslovakia and Germany. He also became a familiar German television commentator alongside Helmut Pfleger and continued competing in senior events. He died in Eitorf in 2025.
