| Billy Ray Valentine: MaxxLange, is Emory Tate's column a regular thing? I just see one article when doing a search: http://beta.uschess.org/frontend/ne... |

| diemjay: <Rocafella> <Is it me, or on the pic does Emory loook a bit shifty...like he's done something wrong :)> <AdrianP> <"Oh my god, I think I left the iron on...?"> After reading that I laughed so hard that milk came out my nose...and I wasn't even drinking milk! Cheers |

| Brown: Perhaps some believe he is "not GM material" yet because he is "not too fond of the draw." Bronstein, may he rest in piece, decided early on that Larsen was not a serious challenger to the WC title because the latter never learned to draw "appropriately." I forget where I saw that. Prophetic, if it came before Bent's match with Bobby. |

| Dobbs: Anyone described as "swashbuckling" is amazing. Even if they are a terrible ches player. |

| Neztop: <chessgames.com> in the game E Tate vs V Akobian, 2006 Tate's rating is 2441 and in the top of the page says that his highest rating achieved is 2377. Which is the correct one? |
|
Dec-29-06
|
| MaxxLange: <neztop> the difference may be USCF vs. FIDE ratings? |
|
| Jan-11-07 |
| geraldo8187: must be, because his uscf rating has been over 2400 for awhile |

| Thrajin: Tate recently played in the Reykjavik International tournament. Here is a link to the games he played there. http://www.thechessdrum.net/newsbri... |

| Poisonpawns: Looking at Tates games from this tournament,it seems his openings are a MAJOR problem.His tactical ability is what keeps him afloat.If he would just tighten up his openings a bit,i think he would be GM easily. |

| manethos: Does anyone know the result of the Tate - Shabalov game from the Curacao Festival...Tate is currently 6-1 |
|
| Jul-26-07 |
| geraldo8187: tate lost the shaba game and faces off against joel benjamin for the last round. if he wins, he gets a gm norm. anyone know how many he already has? |
|
| Jul-26-07 |
| geraldo8187: tate just drew with gm benjamin. i don't know if it was enough to clinch the norm though |

| sisyphus: I saw Emory Tate at the Atlantic Open last night. I wanted to talk to him but he wasn't in a good mood. Starting out 1/3 in a five-round swiss will do that to you. |

| Resignation Trap: Tate is currently playing in Spain: http://www.ajedrezmalaga.org/06_07a... . You can find his name by clicking on "Lista de juagadores". |

| Resignation Trap: In Malaga, Tate's 4th round game against Polish GM Radoslaw Jedynak followed an unusual course right from the start (Tate has White): 1.e4 c6 2.d3 d5 3.Bd2 Nf6 4.Nc3 Qb6
5.b3 e5 6.h3 Nbd7 7.Qf3 Bb4 8.Nge2 Qc5
9.0-0-0 d4 10.Nb1 a5 11.g4 Bxd2+ 12.Rxd2 a4
13.Kb2 Qa5 14.Nc1 Nc5 15.g5
Both players have burned up a lot of time in this game. See: http://www.ajedrezmalaga.org/06_07a... for some live games on the top boards. |

| Marmot PFL: Tate looks completely lost if the current position (move 31) is correct. |

| MaxxLange: <littlefermat> When Emory was living in North Carolina 10 years ago, I sat in on some lessons he gave to kids - he was a very good teacher. When he played me, it was just murder. I remember playing the Ruy with Black against him: he got me into Zugzwang in the middle game. I had all my pieces left, and none of them could move. He emphasized positional concepts very heavily in lessons, despite his reputation as a tactician. |
