Frederick Yates (January 16, 1884November 10, 1932) was a chess master who won the British Chess Championship six times. He was not one of the top players, but could be very dangerous, as shown by his victories over Alexander Alekhine, Max Euwe, Akiba Rubinstein, and Milan Vidmar. However, he had minus scores against them: Alekhine +2-10=3, Rubinstein +2-8=5, Euwe +2-5=1, and Vidmar +1-4=1. Positional players such as José Raúl Capablanca (+8-0=2) and Géza Maróczy (+8-0=1) gave him little chance.

Yates was a very sporting player, publishing one loss to Capablanca[1] in his (Yates') own collection of best games. Yates' most famous victory was against Alekhine at Karlsbad in 1923,[2] involving a very deep combination.
