Apparently Andrew Tate (who would appear to be someone I'd rather not know) is one of the sons of Emory Tate.

Emory was someone who Maurice Ashley wrote about enthusiastically.

Good God!
I last saw Emory Tate at an Open in Mallorca about ten years ago. He was one of my opponents in a simul I gave in Bedford in 1982. But I got to know him better at Ali Amin´s London café Chequers in 1984. He and another US Military guy drove me back to Bedford. It was pretty much understood that he worked at the Chicksands base in South Beds and that was for monitoring of Russian transmissions. But he would just smile if the subject of what he did was ever broached.
Fluent Russian.

That is really interesting. Any chance of more memories of Emory Tate and his military work?

I would recommend the book Triple Exclam!!! by Daaim Shabazz. It gives a fascinating insight into the life and chess games of Emory Tate. There are lots of pictures in the book too. He certainly had an aggressive and uncompromising playing style, and I would imagine he struck fear into many established GMs on the North American tournament circuit. I am sure that if he had been more devoted to chess and perhaps had some high level coaching, he would have attained the GM title.

BOTH Emory´s sons have now been charged with rape... and other serious stuff too.
