John Alan Grefe (born September 6, 1947 in Hoboken, New Jersey, died December 22, 2013) was an American International Master of chess.[1] His best result was a tie for first with Lubomir Kavalek in the 1973 U.S. Championship. FIDE awarded him the title of International Master in 1975. Grefe and Stuart Rachels are the only players since 1948 to win or share the U.S. Championship without already having, or later achieving, the title of International Grandmaster. Grefe, at the time he shared the championship, lived in Berkeley, California, and was a follower of the Guru Maharaj Ji. For that reason and also because of his hippyish appearance, Grefe was affectionately known as "Gandalf" amongst chess friends. Before his success in the U.S. Championship, Grefe had been fairly successful in Swiss system tournaments in the United States. He tied for eighth in the 1969 and 1971 U.S. Open, tied for first in the 1971 National Open, finished sixth at Lone Pine 1971,[2] tied for fourth through sixth at Lone Pine 1973, and finished sixth in the 1973 U.S. Open. Grefe died of liver cancer on December 22, 2013 in San Francisco, California.[3] Notable games{{chess notation|pos=section}}His decisive win over Walter Browne, later a six-time winner of the U.S. Championship himself, in the 1973 championship: Grefe versus Browne, U.S. Championship 1973 A {{chessgloss|brilliancy}} against veteran grandmaster Miguel Najdorf: Grefe versus Najdorf, Lone Pine 1976[5] References1. ^{{cite web|title=US Champion John Grefe Dies at 66|website=US Chess Federation|url=https://www.uschess.org/content/view/12477/735/|accessdate=12 March 2018}} 2. ^{{cite book|last=Grefe|first=John|title=The Best of Lone Pine|year=2009|publisher=Ishi Press|location=New York|isbn=978-4-87187-816-6|page=20}} 3. ^US Champion John Grefe Dies at 66 4. ^Grefe vs Browne, USA ch 1973 Chessgames.com 5. ^{{cite web |title=Najdorf Becomes Grefe-sticken in Lone [Pine] Bout |url=https://www.chessclub.com/videos/attack-with-larryc-najdorf-becomes-grefe-stricken-in-lone-bout |accessdate=12 March 2018}} 6. ^Grefe vs Najdorf, Lone Pine op 1976 Chessgames.com External links
