Andrew Tate's Dad Was A Legendary Chess Tactician 

I played Emory once in 1809. For the first time he opened my eyes when he upgraded his pawn into a bugatti (didnt even know what that was back then). I was only 200 rating back then but now I manage to beat the average 400.

I played Emory once. He showed up at our club and I, being a 1600ish player at the time and not knowing him, asked him if he was new to chess. He said he was learning.... He attacked my kingside with h5-h4.... He loved pushing h pawns. About twenty moves later, I resigned. I got to see him in some tournaments in Alabama. He is certainly missed.

I played Emory once, he broke into my house and killed my dog but I had a pretty good kingside attack before he checkmated me. Definitely one of the best players I've ever played.

Turns out emory has taken on every human in a chess match. Wow what an accomplished player

I played Emory around 880 A.D. He was raiding my monastery together with other Vikings. He could read the stars and predict weather patterns by using his chess board. That was how he and his fellow Vikings navigated. He offered me to spare my life and wife, in case I could beat him in a chess match. I couldn't, he beat me on the kingside and attacked my queen after the match was over.

Emory was definitely brilliant. He didn't have the discipline to be a GM and play drawish positions. He constantly went for attacks. More of an artist than a machine for sure

I played Emory once. I couldn’t match his perspicacity and indefatigability so ultimately I lost.

I played Emory right after he pillaged and plundered my village in southwest Africa, 10 miles from the Nile. While it was a close game, the win ultimately went to him because he sacked his queen for my middle pawn, but unfortunately I don’t remember the rest because I blacked out

I played Emory once, he arrived in a Bugatti, asked what colour my Bugatti was, sipped on sparking water, breathed air, then proceeded to show unmatched perspicacity and indefatigability in our match. He fool’s mated me, then outro’d to Tourner Dans La Vida. His son played a match next to me, winning the under 16’s chess championship at 5 years old. He headkicked his opponent and stole his girlfriend, all whilst chewing on scavenged KFC and without the assistance of a nightlight. Amazing.

I played Emory once. He had a very good kingside and it was a very close game but I certainly had the upper hand most of the game until he said”what color is your Bugatti ..” after which my king committed suicide…! What a chess player truly sensational !

This one time at band camp, I played Emory. He was actually a very talented musician as well. Not many people know this but he defeated me with one hand, whilst playing trombone with the other. Hell of a guy.

I played Emory Tate once back in the 90s. He is such an inspirational guy. He explained to me that my unborn status cannot be used as an excuse to not play.

I played Emory once. He had a very quiet but powerful aura about him. I’d been playing professionally for 6 months so I was fairly inexperienced but I had a lot of confidence. He absolutely destroyed me with a H6-H7 horse attack which left my queen wide open. After he check mated me he made me eat all my chess pieces as a lesson, which I promptly did, and unfortunately chipped 13 of my teeth. A brilliant mind and a brilliant man.

I played Emory once at a small tournament in London. I opened up with an e5 and I don’t remember anything else. I woke up in a pool of blood in the middle of a field, with a single sticky note stuck to my forehead which read, “checkmate”. I didn’t know where I was so I wandered for days, hoping for some human contact. I ended up seeing some bright white lights a few hundred metres away, I was starving, wet and delirious. As I got closer and closer I realised it was a car, I could hear what sounded like music coming from it, it was “tourner dans la vide”, and the car was a Bugatti. I felt a sudden shock in my chest and heard a loud bang… I realised I had been shot. I woke up in intensive care 3 weeks later. To this day I don’t know what happened, I’m never playing Chess again, and I am now haunted by images of Bugatti’s.

I played Emory once when he invaded my kingdom back in 1504. I managed to check his king but shortly after he went after mine and with a single swing of his legendary bugghati sword technique killed both the king and the queen. It was a sad day for the kingdom but I say it was Common Tate W.

I played Emory once. We were in opposing camps in a drug dispute and instead of the carnage of gang violence we played a game. I got mated in 17 moves but he let me live. Awesome guy!

“My unmatched perspicacity coupled with sheer indefatigability makes me a feared opponent in any realm of human endeavor.” - Andrew Emory Tate

"which is not the move of a top g"- incredible

I played Emory once. I was walking through the Sahara practically dying of thirst. I was frantically searching for even a single drop of water when emory emerged from the ground holding cold, refreshing bottles of water. I begged him for one and he told me i can have all of it if i beat him at a game of chess. Unlucky for me, his kingside attack really blindsided me, and I lost the match. He said, take this one bottle anyways, but then i blacked out and i woke up with no water

I wish this comment section was readable, I wanted to actually see what people had to say about him.

I played Emory once in 1199 A.D. He pillaged my castle and slaughtered my people all the while attacking the kingside of me and several other super grandmasters. One of the best chess players I’ve ever fought.

"My unmatched perspicacity coupled with sheer indefatigability makes me a feared opponent in any realm of human endeavour" -Emory Tate.

I played Emory once when I was talking to Adam in the garden of Eden and out of nowhere tourner dans le vide starting playing and he pulled up in a Bugatti challenging me, Adam, and Eve at the same time crushing us all and proceeded to also beat the Snake and left.

I actually played Emory once back in 2008. What I thought was a chess game quickly turned into a game of golf and who could knock the pawns the farthest off the board. Unfortunately he promoted his pawn into a queen giving him the double move allowing him to turn 3 of his queens on the board into the Bugatti. He won a very close game that day.

I played emory once. He brutally beat both me and my sister and had a very well constructed kingside attack. He still lost though so he got mad and killed my mum

I played Emory once. He invented the time machine mid-game go back 40 years back to talk to my soon to be parents and he try to convince them to not let their future son (me) to not get into chess then he went to 1909 France to tell some random Italian entrepreneur that he should start a car company. Then went back to present date but I have a well defended king so I ended up winning by time. Certainly a top-tier player.

I once played Emory in the prehistoric ages. He had a very good kingside attack and then after he beat me we ate a velociraptor together for dinner. Truly a gentleman

I played Emory once. I was born in a small village. I was still a child when we were raided by chess players. Foreign chess players. Torn from my club, I was made to play their strategies. With each new club, my masters changed along with the openings they made me play. With each change, I changed, too. My thoughts, personality, how I attacked kingside with h5-h4... openings can kill.

i played Emory back in 1977 Versailles france, i was simply dumbfounded, bewildered, flabbergasted even, at his sheer perspicacity and indefatigability, i did not stand a chance.

I also played Emory one time. Checkmated me with his King. I'll never forget that day.

I played Emory once, it was a cold summer in the Bahamas, the winds were howling and there he was. Standing in between the shadows of my lawn , with a chessboard in his grasp. His kingside attack really got me

The footage is from the World Open (in Valley Forge). I took on an old first generation digital camera. The resolution was low obviously but it was a previous moment. Mark Paragua beat Bonin ( on the next board) with mate in eight!!! I do remember that clock and may have taken a photo of it. Glad Hikaru found it useful. :-)

Played Emory before. He sacked rook for knight and shattered my kingside pawns and left my king alone. Proceeded to beat me in about 10 moves after that.

I played Emory once in 1922. He preached speeches about equality and labor rights to my pawns. Eventually unrest grew and the pawns revolted and decapitated my king and proclaimed a new Free Pawn Republic that lasted 70 years before my king took power again, however he doesn’t call himself king anymore.

I played Emory once, and now our game is known as the first recorded chess game in the history of chess.

I played Emory once. After rushing his pawns he stood up and checkmated me with the king. He was the last person known to check with the king, what a true legend

I played emory once, 5 moves into the game and he achieved hive mind consciousness with the chess pieces and my pieces began attacking themselves and eventually my pawns formed a circle around my king and decapitated him. Good game

I played Emory once as a small child, back when the Bongcloud opening was still named Knight's Dildo. He caught me on a nasty counterattack and screamed Top G while punching the clock. I've never played since.

I played against Emory Tate once. I tried pulling a kingside attack (probably my best move) and then he said my location, the name of every family member of mine, and the Bugatti he would use to murder them all. I sadly resigned, but it was a really good game.

I played Emory once. He simply uttered the words "It's Tateing time" and proceeded to absolutely Tate all over the chess board. Truly one of the chess players of all time.

“Sometimes you gotta sacrifice a b**ch” - Andrew Tate

I played Emory once in 1205 B.C. I was hunting a mammoth when i found him doing handstand pushups. He offered me a sparkling water and we sat there for 19 years. It was a truly inspiring battle but he won with 0.4820 moves. I miss him every day.

Love this. Mr Tate was so much fun to watch as a scholastic player in the 90s.

Emery used to play for St Alban's chess club in England back in the 90's I remember him well.

It's amazing how he can remember every move that was played

I played Emory once and he seems to have a talent to let chess speak for itself

A very famous Emory quote, “ I didn’t invent chess but when God invented chess… I was standing right there! “

I played Emory once in 2087. He played the famous StockFish Opening, consisting of 33 moves of plain theory, I answered with the Emory defense. Somehow he was not surprised by that. I always tried to at least stalemate him, because I knew winning just wasn't an option for me but then I missed his double en passant leading to forced checkmate in 18 moves. After he won he advised me to take his very own time capsule which was a bugatti-delorean and to come back to this video.

I remember playing Emory in Siberia back in ‘89, it was a hard fought game but I had to resign since a tiger ripped my arm off and I had blacked out due to blood loss. Wish I could’ve played him again before he passed 🙏

i LOVE how much respect chess players have for eachother. Its why i love the game

I played Emory once. But his unmatched perspicacity couple with his sheer indefatigability made him a feared opponent which ultimately made me quit.

So sad that people in the comments disrespecting Emory, he's dead R.i.p Atleast don't makes jokes about him

I hope Hikaru can challenge Andrew someday

I want more video of Emory! It’s fun to watch

I just love the fact that everyone here has played Emory Tate at some point in their life.

I love watching Hikaru either analyzing or playing games. It's so much fun! 😁

I played Emory once I beat him so he shot me in the head but I survived, the next day I woke up dead

Andrew Tate is named after his father. Andrew's full name is Emory Andrew Tate.

I played Emory once in the Soviet Union during the Cuban Missile Crisis, he sacrificed his king then checkmated me with a discovered pawn attack. Then he morphed into a Bugatti and drove over to Cuba over the Pacific Ocean to go “shoot up some Australians” really showed me how to castle well.

I played Emory once in 1505 in Florence. Someone named Niccolo or some shit keeps whispering in my ear about a fast copper colored wagon I could buy with the winnings. 20 moves in, Emory started screaming about perspicacity and infatiguability and I just resigned.

I played Emory twice. He came to me in 36432 BC when I was still a caveman. Back then I was a rising street flute performer, so we had to play a quick one. On move -3 he mated me with his king by promoting it to a Karen. Sadly, managers back then weren't invented... Devastating loss

I played Emory back in the 60s. He acted like a chess punk but boy could he back it up. He fishing poled me and then proceeded to smoke a cigar. He turned to me, never breaking gaze and said "smoooooking babbbyyyyyyy!!" Ill never forget this day

I played emory once back in 98, it was a legendary night one could certainly not forget. Sadly I forgot nearly everything, because I was put into a coma. When I woke up, Emory was sitting right next to my bedside, with a chess board in front of him and the keys of a Bugatti behind his ear. "Stand up" he said, "stand up & lose again". That´s right, just then I found out I lost the match, he proceeded to tell me everything. So apparently, after he arrived in his brand-new Bugatti & an ass cheek in both hands he sat down in front of me and looked me dead in the eyes. Then he played his pawn, boom. Apparently I got posessed and checkmated myself, then Emory put me to rest with a simple jab cross combo. What a guy honestly!

I played Emory once, he attacked my my home Shiganshina and opened the gate which allowed titans to eat my mother. I then grew up plotting revenge and to this have kept moving forward until i kill my enemies. TATAKAE

that smirk was nasty my man 8:40 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I played Emory once in 42069 BC and He pushed his H pawns were he would go on to check mate me and I went into a outlandish rage following this L

Im truly gobsmacked how many people played Emory.

Imagine if that man had the discipline to take a draw, he could’ve been 2700 easily. Still a legend in chess to say the least!

I played Emory Tate once, he beat me after a couple of swift moves, he then asked me "what color is your Bugatti?.

This is legitimately fn crazy that hikaru actually played emory tate

I played Emory once, It was October 17th 2015 and I was headed to Lisbon, Portugal on a United Airlines flight when the engine vessel shut down. The Boeing 737 was destined for an impact in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Me being the absolute top G that i am, i ditch everyone on the plane and jump out with no parachute. The air pressure causes the airplane to covertly disintegrates and takes a shape similar to that of a rolled up paper ball, everyone was immediately vaporized. As i fall with the form of a high dive angel, I land with the force of a whale in the water near the island of “Angra do Heroísmo”, only about 300 miles from my destination of Lisbon. As i swim towards the shore I can hear the 2014 Asian hit “Tourner Dans Le Vide” get louder and louder, and there he was… Sitting in a formal fashion with the graceful posture of the recently deceased Queen of England, it was him, the man, the myth, the legend, Emory Andrew Tate Jr. In front of him was a old style 28 piece chess board and a wooden stool on the opposing side, almost as if he was expecting me. I preformed first play of the match with a B3 Forward pawn, Emory then hit me with an AC3.25849652XZ*¥ move and the chess board self-destructed with the atomic mass of 15 megatons. We both died on that day and that my friends is a lesson that we must all learn, “Don’t end up in the middle of an Atlantic Island alone with one man after a plane crash on a Saturday.” If you read this all the way to the end, i greatly appreciate you for hearing story. All luv

I once played against a guy named Emory. He showed up in a hotdog costume, asked if my hotdog had mustard or ketchup, sipped on a milkshake, inhaled the aroma of freshly cut grass, and then proceeded to play chess like a grandmaster. He checkmated me, then moonwalked his way to the concession stand. His pet parrot played a match right next to me, winning the championship in 5 minutes flat. The parrot then serenaded a pigeon and stole its breadcrumbs, all while reciting Shakespearean sonnets and without any birdseed bribery. Incredible!

I played Emory once. He launched a kingside attack and mated me in about 20 moves. Around move 17 or 18 he started laughing and asked me if I knew what was at stake. I was confused because I hadn’t talked to him at all before the game. Once he won he beckoned to my girlfriend, who was watching the game, and she ran over to him and gave him a hug. Turns out he was playing the game for her. He took her home and I never saw her again.

I played Emory once. In a remote alleyway in the city of Perth, Western Australia. I was walking down it alone, at night, when suddenly from the shadows Emory emerged with board and pieces in hand. Was a wonderful game except for his stifling kingside attack. Amazing player and brilliant tactician

I played Emory once. We were competing snipers on opposite sides of the war. He killed my partner shortly before checkmating me in 18 moves.

This comment section is a high school creative writing class

Everyone in the comments has played emory lmao

Hikaru so smart he surfs on the algorithm! Wow would told hikaru will someday review games against tate

I played Emory once. He bashed my head in, called me a lama fondler and checkmated me. Fine tactician.

I played Emory once. He checkmated me in the first move.

i played Emory once. He came to my house and i could feel the breathing of the air, i could basically taste the sparkling water. He then proceeded to check mate me and instead of finishing the game he punched me in the teeth and knocked me out. RIP What a legend

I played Emory once in Tiraspol after he attempted to use a pickaxe to chip away at a Lenin statue. He loved attacking kingside and was extremely aggressive.

I played Emory Tate once. He made a queen sacrifice and me being a genuine, nice person, sacrificed my king in return.

I played Emory once, We met up at his house and his son smashed my head in with a plastic batman lunchbox. I didnt allow his sons attack to ruin my chances in the game but Emory takes a sip of mount franklin sparkling water and a rose gold bugatti runs me over and i look up to see a 6'3 tall figure call me a brokie whilst Emory got a Checkmate and went on to say "My unmatched perspicacity coupled with shear indefatigability makes me a feared opponent in any realm of human endeavour". Great match!

The comments here are disrespectful - making fun of a man who is now dead. I bet none of you would have made silly jokes if this man was just next to you. Web warriors!

apparently everyone's played him

I remember playing Emory with Jesus in the crowd viewing our legendary game.

I played Emory, In West Philadelphia born and raised On the playground was where I spent most of my days Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin', all cool And all shootin' some b-ball outside of the school When a couple of guys who were up to no good Started making trouble in my neighborhood I got in one little fight and my mom got scared She said, "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air"

I played Emory once. We both picked up pieces and put them down on different squares.

“As a man I would never let a queen go out to battle for me” - Andrew Tate (not a real quote

Comment section passed the vibe check.

I played Emory once, back in 1790 in Birmingham England. I was just playing mini-golf with my boys where he emerged from the shadows and challenged me in a game of chess. 15 moves in he started shouting at himself something involving “perspicacity” and “human endeavour” . Suddenly i woke up tied around my neck in a car full of gold with a Colombian man saying something about “dominating realm” and emory tate showed up and said i lost in time, truly an amazing tactician and strategist

This comment section is so wack

I played emory once while sitting with jesus on the last meal he showed up looked at the board and said mate in 32 we played and it ended then he drove away

I played Emory once, it was during the reign of rameses the 2nd, moses and everyone else just got out of the red sea. Emory flew over on a bugati attack helicopter, jumped down and challenged me to play chess. He was a briliant player. He attacked me on pharaoh's side then landed a crushing defeat with his queen. Truly a spectacular player.

I played Emory once I can’t remember the date exactly but it was a little bit before fall of the Roman Empire. He checkmated me in 1 move.

i played emory once when he smashed into my house and slaughtered my whole family but left my dog half dead . He had a very powerfull opening with f3-e5 ,g4 . Still miss those old days.

We need a collab with Tate and Hikaru

The chat is painfully hard to read

I played Emory once. He forced my village to form a human chess board and proceeded to sac all of his pieces. He send my mother, the queen, down into a strong king side attack, sadly she was brutally murdered by the opposing knight (she got lanced and trampled).
