Isidore Weiss

Isidore Weiss (1867 – June 12, 1936) was a Frenchman who won seven world championships for international draughts from 1899 to 1911, a record not surpassed until Alexei Chizhov 85 years later.

In international draughts, the Coup Weiss is a refinement of the Coup de l'Expresse, named after him.
