Andrew Tate has long credited his father, Emory Tate, as his biggest inspiration.
“His super tactical style as well as his incredibly entertaining post-mortems were legendary.” Emory Tate was known to dissect a match after it happened, in a style which fellow international master Daniel Rensch described as “colorful, hilarious and very often crude (bordering on vulgar)”.
Emory Tate’s career as a chess master and his political and cultural opinions can be seen in his son’s philosophy on life, which encompasses things like discipline, aggression and the denigration of women.
In a Facebook post in 2015, he described his father, Emory Tate I, as “the most savage man in the universe” who frequently abused him.
Emory Tate saw himself as an alpha male and often posted Facebook statuses about his school of thought, which he called “Tateism”.
