Ludek Pachman PRAGUE, Czech Republic (AP) -- Ludek Pachman, an international chess grandmaster and author of dozens of chess textbooks, died Thursday. He was 78, the news agency CTK reported Monday. It said the Czech-born Pachman died in Passau, Germany. The report did not give the cause of his death. Pachman, an internationally known seven-time Czechoslovak chess master and a devoted communist until the 1968 Warsaw Pact invasion that crushed democratic reforms known as Prague Spring, emigrated to Germany in 1972. He returned to Prague after the demise of communism in late 1989, but in 1998 moved to Germany again. He was the author of a number of chess textbooks, such as "Modern Chess Strategy," or "Decisive Games in Chess History." Pachman also took part in many international chess tournaments. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/news/archive/2003/03/11/national0623EST0484.DTL
