Emory Andrew Tate Jr. (December 27, 1958 – October 17, 2015) was an American International Master who was described as “absolutely a trailblazer for African-American chess” by grandmaster Maurice Ashley.

Tate’s highest FIDE rating on the October 2006 rating list was 2413, placing him 72nd in the United States and among the top 2000 active players in the world. On December 30, 1996, his USCF rating peaked at 2508. After earning his third norm at the 2006 World Open, he was awarded the international master title in 2007.

Andrew, his eldest son, stated: “I’ve never seen him study chess books. He also despised chess computers and avoided using them. He simply sat and played.” On the American chess circuit, Tate established a reputation as a creative and dangerous tactician, winning about 80 tournament games against grandmasters. Tate was the five-time winner of the United States Armed Forces Chess Championship. He was inducted into the Indiana State Chess Hall of Fame in 2005 after winning the Indiana state championship six times (1995, 1996, 2000, 2005, 2006, and 2007). In addition, in 2010, he won the Alabama state championship. Leroy Hill, a fellow Air Force veteran and 2003 U.S. Armed Forces Chess Champion, stated: “Everyone on the team had a nickname. We called Emory’s performance “extraterrestrial” because we thought it was out of this world.”
