Above is a photo I took of the grave of Vladimir Ze'ev Shteinberg, 1965-2024. He is buried in the Ganei Ester Cemetary, Rishon LeZion, Israel. He was not a chess master, but he was a good amateur player, with a FIDE rating of 2180. He also held the Israeli chess rank of senior candidate master, according to his ICF player's page (in Hebrew).
Graves of chess masters often have a chess theme, as Edward Winter's article on the subject shows. But I am not aware of many graves of non-masters having such a theme. Does any reader know of similar chess motifs on the graves of non-masters?
