Salome Reischer

Salome Reischer (19 February 1899 – 1980) was an Austrian chess player.[1]

In 1937 she tied for 17-20th places at the 6th Women's World Chess Championship in Stockholm, won by Vera Menchik.[2] Born in Brzezinka,[3] after Anschluss, she moved initially to Palestine and then, via Argentina, to the United States.[4]

In 1939, she tied for 14-16th places in the 7th Women's World Championship at Buenos Aires, where Menchik dominated again.[5] After World War II, Reischer came back to Austria. She won the Austrian women's championship thrice: at Melk 1950, Graz 1952, and Pöchlarn 1954.[1]

She was awarded the International Woman Master title in 1952.[6]
