Timeline
Jeremy Silman (August 28, 1954 – September 21, 2023) was an American chess player and writer.
He was an International Master (IM).
Silman was born in Del Rio, Texas, on August 28, 1954.
His father was in the military and the family moved frequently before settling in San Diego by the early 1960s.
Silman began playing chess at the age of 12.
In high school, he wanted to move to the Soviet Union and study chess, due to the game's popularity and the number of skilled players he knew there.
This was infeasible, so he instead served briefly in the U.S. Army before moving in San Francisco to continue playing chess.
His family was not understanding of his passion for chess, and he grew apart from them over the years.
In San Francisco, Silman was involved in the Haight-Ashbury scene in the 1970s.
He attained the IM title in 1988.
He wrote over 35 books, mostly on chess but also on casino gambling, as well as articles for chess magazines such as Chess Life and New in Chess.
He also wrote many articles and puzzles for the Chess.com.
Silman was the professor in a video chess course produced by The Teaching Company as part of its Great Courses series.
Silman served as a chess consultant on the 2001 Harry Potter film Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Monk, and Malcolm in the Middle.
However, Silman was uncredited for his work on Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
In his books, Silman evaluates positions according to the "imbalances", or differences, which exist in every position, and advocates that players plan their play according to these.
A good plan, according to Silman, is one which highlights the positive imbalances in the position.
According to Dana Mackenzie, the imbalances are, in roughly descending order of importance:
Silman proposes in How to Reassess Your Chess a five-fold procedure that he recommends that players use.
This procedure is to be followed after checking for tactical threats for both sides.
Silman was married to Gwen Feldman.
He died from primary progressive aphasia, a form of dementia, on September 21, 2023, at his home in West Hollywood, California; he was 69 years old.
The preface to his Endgame Course mentions this, and fellow chess players Daniel King and Ronan Bennett allude to this in a newspaper column from 2007.
His years in San Francisco inspired Autobiography of a Goat (2013), a semi-autobiographical novel.
He lived in London, Chicago, and Seattle for brief stretches before moving to Los Angeles, where he was based for the rest of his life.
Silman won the American Open, the National Open, and the U.S. Open, and was the coach of the US junior national chess team.
