Emory American chess player Andrew Tate Jr. killed away unexpectedly on October 17, 2015. The first black grandmaster, Maurice Ashley, said that Tate was “unquestionably a pathfinder for African-American chess.”
He never showed signs of reading any chess books. He was so opposed to chess computers that he never used one.

What’s Andrew Tate’s IQ?
His father, however, had a USCF rating of 2499 and a FIDE rating of 2413, making him an international master in the game. In tournament play, he defeated grandmasters in roughly 80 games.
When he was five years old, Andrew participated in adult tournaments. No matter what you think of the man, if you listen to him talk, you can see he’s no fool. I’d think that 148 is definitely feasible, if not likely.
He asserted that it was somewhat higher than 150, had an extremely high verbal IQ (above the 99th percentile), and was above-average in performance IQ (about in the 75th percentile).
