Hi,
Was Florencio Campomanes the first

We're trying to make a short history
of Chess with topics as the first world Chess champion, first
Chess Olympiad, first Woman champion, etc.
Thanks.

Dear viewer,
The first
FIDE President was the Dutchman Alexander Rueb.
He held the
position for 25 years, from 1924 to 1949. Afterwards, he
remained an Honorary President for another 10 years.
Rueb was born on
December 27, 1882 and died February 2, 1959.
