Orla Hermann Krause

Orla Hermann Krause was a Danish chess master and analyst.
He took 2nd, behind Andreas Rosendahl, at Copenhagen 1895, took 2nd at Copenhagen 1899, took 5th at Copenhagen 1907, shared 2nd, behind Paul Johner at Copenhagen 1916, tied for 4-8th at Copenhagen 1924, and tied for 5-8th at Copenhagen 1934.
Krause played for Denmark at first board in the 1st Chess Olympiad at London 1927, and won team silver medal there.
In 1938 a 49 page analysis titled "About the opening position in chess" was published by Jørgen Møller with the help of the Danish chess association. It is written by Dr. Krause and passed onto Jørgen Møller for review shortly before Krause's death. In it, Krause investigates whether or not white has an inherent advantage from the opening position, and attempts to prove his point by proposing several laws. The analysis ends without any conclusive results, but with hopeful prospects for the "Beauty of chess".
His name is attached to the Krause Variation in the Queen's Pawn Opening. He found many new ideas in the Slav Defense in the 1920s. Also, the Krause Attack is named after him.
