David S. Goodman (b. February 25, 1958 in England) is an International Master of chess. David Simon Charles Goodman was born on the 25th of February 1958. Awarded the IM title in 1983, he was World Under-18 Champion in 1975. He is an AP reporter. He started his career as a stringer reporting on international chess tournaments for AP. He is perhaps the only chess news reporter who ever graduated to become a real news reporter.
He is now a US citizen and lives in New York City.
Goodman became known as a real journalist for his discovery that Soviet Premier Konstantin Chernenko was dead. In Moscow for a major chess event, Goodman went early one morning to the Great Hall of the People where the chess event was being played. Upon trying to enter the building, he was told by the cleaning lady that the chess event would not be played that day because an important person had died. Goodman figured out that the only person so important that his death would cause postponement of the chess event was Soviet Premier Konstantin Chernenko.
Goodman is now relatively inactive in chess except that he coaches some students. He is rated 2405 by FIDE.
