Maurice Raichenbach

Maurice Raichenbach (born near Warsaw, Poland on May 12, 1915; died in Hauts-de-Seine, France on March 1, 1998) was a Polish-born French draughts champion.

His early childhood was spent in the area around Warsaw, but when he was a boy his mother died and his father moved them to France.

During World War II he served the French army as a naturalized citizen.

After the war he retired from professional draughts at age thirty, although he still played "friendly" games for years afterward.

His more lasting, if less notable, career was in the clothing business and at one time he had 200 employees.
