Meet Emory Tate: The Chess Master Father of Controversial Social Media Figure, Andrew Tate

Who is Emory Tate?

Emory Andrew Tate Jr. was born on December 27, 1958, in Chicago, Illinois, to his father, Emory Andrew Tate I, an attorney, and his mother, Emma Cox Tate.

As a child, Emory developed a keen interest in chess, a passion that would propel him to great success in the future.

He rose to prominence in the chess community, achieving notable victories such as winning the Indiana State championships six times, the United States Armed Forces Chess Championship five times, and the Alabama state championship once in 2010.

Maurice Ashley, the first black chess grandmaster in history, hailed Emory as a “trailblazer for African-American chess.”

Known for his daring gameplay, Emory gained a reputation as a risk-taker, defeating 80 grandmasters in tournament games.

His infectious enthusiasm for chess attracted large crowds to his post-match analysis sessions, as noted by Chess.com.

Emory achieved a peak International Chess Federation ranking of 2413 in 2006, making him the 72nd seeded chess player in the US.

In 2005, he was honored with induction into the Indiana State Chess Hall of Fame.

Emory’s eldest son, Andrew, credited his father with a significant influence on his life, praising him as “the best father on the planet.”

During a podcast episode, Andrew revealed that his father was a self-taught chess player who rarely consulted chess books or used computers for the game, preferring to rely on his intuition and skill.

Andrew continued to hold his late father in high regard, referring to him as “the smartest man who’s ever walked the earth, bar none.”
