Frederick Dewhurst Yates (January 16 1884 – November 10 1932) was a chess master who won the British Chess Championship six times. He was not one of the top players, but could be very dangerous, as shown by his victories over Alexander Alekhine, Max Euwe, Akiba Rubinstein, and Milan Vidmar. However, he had minus scores against them: Alekhine +2-10=3, Rubinstein +2-8=5, Euwe +2-5=1, and Vidmar +1-4=1. Positional players such as José Raúl Capablanca (+8-0=2) and Géza Maróczy (+8-0=1) gave him little chance.Yates died through an asphyxiation accident as he slept. Although some have suggested that this was suicide, a friend testified that he saw Yates the night before and that he was in good spirits.

Yates was a very sporting player, publishing one loss to Capablanca in his (Yates') own collection of best games:

1. Nf3 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. b3 Bg7 4. Bb2 O-O 5. g3 d6 6. Bg2 Nc6 7. O-O e5 8. d4 Nd7 9. dxe5 Ndxe5 10. Nc3 Re8 11. Nxe5 Nxe5 12. Qd2 a5 13. Rac1 Rb8 14. h3 Bd7 15. Nd5 b6 16. f4 Nc6 17. Bxg7 Kxg7 18.

He was also noted for extreme doggedness, fighting until the last vestige of hope was gone before conceding defeat.

Yates' most famous victory was against Alekhine at Karlsbad in 1923, involving a very deep combination with the black pieces:
