My Take

Emory Tate interests me as a chess player first, long before his famous sons enter the conversation. Earning the International Master title is hard enough; doing it with a reputation for wildly creative, attacking chess is what made him beloved. Strong players reportedly crowded around whenever he analyzed his games, which tells me his real gift was storytelling through the board. Born in Chicago in 1958 and gone by 2015, he never reached Grandmaster, yet his games are replayed more than those of many who did. I find that a fitting legacy: brilliance is sometimes measured in beauty rather than titles, and Tate's chess was beautiful.

Overview
