- Burt Hochberg (1933 – 13 de maig de 2006) va ser un expert en escacs i altres jocs i trencaclosques. Va ser autor i va editar molts llibres sobre escacs, i va ser editor tant de (des del desembre de 1966 fins a l'octubre de 1979 inclòs) com de la revista GAMES. Hochberg ha estat l'editor que més temps en la història va estar al capdavant de la revista Chess Life. Hochberg va ser la principal força editorial i assessora darrere del projecte d'escacs d'RHM Publishing als anys 70, que va produir molts títols d'alta qualitat de diversos dels millors jugadors del món, que es van vendre bé. Aquest treball va captar i va alimentar l'enorme augment de la popularitat dels escacs impulsat per la conquesta per Bobby Fischer del Campionat del món d'escacs de 1972. Alguns exemples en són:
* La Defensa francesa, per Svetozar Gligorić (RHM 1974);
* El Gambit Benko, per Pál Benkő, (RHM 1973);
* Interzonals del Campionat mundial: Leningrad—Petropolis 1973, per , L.S. Blackstock, i Aleksandr Kótov, (RHM 1974);
* How To Open A Chess Game, per set Grans Mestres Internacionals (Larry Evans, Paul Keres, Tigran Petrossian, Lajos Portisch, Vlastimil Hort, Svetozar Gligorić, i Bent Larsen), (RHM 1974). (ca)
- Burt Hochberg (1933 – May 13, 2006) was an expert on chess and other games and puzzles. He authored and edited many books on chess, and served as editor of both Chess Life (from December 1966 until October 1979 inclusive), and GAMES magazine. Hochberg has been the longest-serving editor in the history of Chess Life magazine. Hochberg was the main publishing and advisory force behind the RHM Publishing chess project in the 1970s, which produced many high-quality titles from several of the world's top players, which sold well. This work caught and fed the enormous increase in chess popularity spurred by Bobby Fischer's conquest of the World Chess Championship in 1972. Examples are:
* The French Defence, by Svetozar Gligorić (RHM Publishing 1974);
* The Benko Gambit, by Pal Benko, (RHM Publishing 1973);
* World Championship Interzonals: Leningrad—Petropolis 1973, by Robert Wade, L.S. Blackstock, and Alexander Kotov, (RHM Publishing 1974);
* How To Open A Chess Game, by seven International Grandmasters (Larry Evans, Paul Keres, Tigran Petrosian, Lajos Portisch, Vlastimil Hort, Svetozar Gligorić, and Bent Larsen), (RHM Publishing 1974). (en)
