Abram Yakovlevich Model (Russian: Абрам Яковлевич Моде́ль; 23 October 1896, Daugavpils – 16 February 1976, Leningrad) was a Soviet chess master, although he had his master title taken away by the Soviet chess authorities due to lack of results.
[citation needed] Abram Yakovlevich Model was born in Daugavpils, Latvia.
He anonymously challenged Leningrad's top players, including Ilyin-Genevsky, Botvinnik, Ragozin, Rokhlin and Leonid Kubbel, to a telephone simultaneous exhibition as "Master X", quickly gaining the upper hand in most games, and scoring seven wins and three draws.
