“My unmatched perspicacity coupled with my sheer indefatigability makes me a feared opponent in any realm of human endeavor.” ~ Emory Tate
Dear subscriber,
Imagine a chess player who…
… has the mind of Stephen Hawking, the physique and athleticism of Michael Johnson, and the bravado and charisma of Muhammad Ali.
That would be quite the chess player, wouldn’t it?
Well, there was such a chess player.
His name?
Emory Tate.
Emory Tate was an international master of chess and a trailblazer for African-American chess. He was a swashbuckling tactician who had a balls-to-the-wall approach to the game that made him a crowd favorite. This Mike Tyson of chess routinely obliterated opponents with just a few cunning moves. Some say Tate’s super aggressive style was a strength but was also what kept him from reaching the title of Grandmaster.
Here’s something I found amusing while researching this guy. I typed into Google the following: Was Emory Tate a grandmaster. Here’s what came up:
“Yes. Tate was a grandmaster! A grandmaster at being an a-hole away from the board that is!”
Hmm. Evidently, he was a colorful character.
Here’s a quick Emory Tate story.
One night Tate was at a gas station getting up a bite to eat. He’s standing there at the counter when four thugs enter the gas station and walk right up behind him. One of them strikes him on the head with a Glock. With blood now gushing out of his head like a fire hydrant, Tate turns around and somehow managed to grab one of the men, bites his cheek off, then grabbed another thug with both hands and started choking him. The other two thugs grab (rescue) their hurt friends and they all flee the gas station.
After the incident, Tate was interviewed by the police. “The gas station attendant tells us you just fought off four guys. That’s impressive”, said one of the cops. “What do you do for a living, Mr. Tate?”
“I’m a chess player”, said Tate.
“A chess player?! You just fought off four guys… maybe you should have been something else?” said the cop.
Tate wipes the blood from his face, looks at the cop, and says:
“My unmatched perspicacity coupled with my sheer indefatigability makes me a feared opponent in any realm of human endeavor.”
Damn. That’s some legendary stuff right there, ain’t it?
Okay, so why am I talking about Emory Tate?
Here’s why:
Because the audio of the month features this great man’s son.
And let me tell you… his son is every bit (if not more) as impressive as his old man. Tate’s son is a 4-time world champion kickboxer, businessman, and commentator, but more than anything…
… He is an Absolute Force of Nature!
A hurricane of ambition, energy, and inspiration.
Tate’s son is a man who’s so large & in charge, the Coronavirus crosses the street when it sees him coming.
But be warned: This man is not everyone’s cup of tea. He’s a throwback to an ancient time when men were warriors and women’s sole purpose was to please their men.
Disclaimer:
He’s a little out there, and his opinions are very controversial, even by my standards.
Many of Tate junior’s thoughts and opinions expressed in these audios belong solely to Tate’s son.
That said, when it comes to how one should approach life to achieve great success, this man has my full-throated endorsement.
Tate’s son is one of the most persuasive individuals I’ve ever heard.
Although I disagree with a lot of his views and beliefs, I have profited from many of the things this man teaches, and I believe you will too.
