Samuel Gold (born July 2, 1835 in Kővágóörs , Hungary , † November 9, 1920 in New York ) was a Hungarian medic , journalist and chess composer .

He was born into a Jewish family in the village of Kővágóörs on the shores of Lake Balaton and learned to play chess at the age of 15 when he went to high school. In 1857 he moved to Vienna to take courses at a medical school.

Gold published his first chess compositions in the Budapest Vasárnapi Újság and the Wiener Illustrierte Zeitung in 1857. From 1864 he was the chess editor of the magazine Der Osten , later also in other newspapers, including the Allgemeine Sport-Zeitung . In 1883 he published his collection of 200 chess problems (Vienna, 1883).

From 1887 he was Carl Schlechter's first and only chess teacher in Vienna.

He met on 11 December 1892 in America, and published immediately two chess problems in the New York Sun . Gold stayed in New York all his life. He died in the Bronx at the age of 85 and was buried in the presence of a small group of Hungarian relatives and friends on November 11, 1920.
