Viktor Tietz (13 April 1859, Rumburk – 8 December 1937, Karlovy Vary) was a Czech–German chess player, chess life organizer and local politician.[1]
He took 7th at Breslau 1889 (the 6th DSB Congress, Hauptturnier A won by Emanuel Lasker), and won ahead of Dawid Janowski and Moritz Porges at Carlsbad 1902 (Triangular).[2]
He invented the tie-break system now called the Tietz system.[3] His name is attached to the chess club in Karlovy Vary.[4] He was a main organizer of four famous international tournaments: the Carlsbad 1907, the Carlsbad 1911, the Carlsbad 1923, and the Carlsbad 1929.[5]
