(born Oct-06-1923, died Mar-23-2023, 99 years old) Russia (federation/nationality Israel)
[what is this?]

He was a Senior International Master of correspondence chess and an author of chess books. His name is also spelled Jakov Isajevich Nejstadt.

Neishtadt played chess at master level during the 1950s and 1960s, and was awarded the Soviet Master of Sport title in 1961. He was also awarded the title of Judge of the All-Union Category for Chess in 1975. He was executive secretary of the magazine Shakhmaty v SSSR from 1955 to 1973 and deputy editor, then editor in chief of 64 magazine from 1974 to 1979. He has written books on a variety of chess-related topics, including openings, combinations and chess history. He also served as general editor for Sportverlag publishers of Berlin, collaborating with Mark Taimanov among others, producing a series of German-language opening theory books in the 1970s and 1980s.

Neishtadt was also a strong correspondence chess player, heading the USSR 'B' team in the 7th and 8th Correspondence Chess Olympiads. Between 1984 and 1991 he played in the 12th World Correspondence Chess Championship finals, finishing in 7th place behind Grigory Sanakoev. Following this he was awarded the ICCF International Master title; in 2003 this title was upgraded to that of Senior International Master.

Mar-11-19  Olavi: On the occasion of his 85th gchesspro published an impressive looking article: https://chesspro.ru/_events/2008/ne...
Jan-06-22  nummerzwei: His books on chess combinations are a real joy.
Mar-24-23  philmsu: According to Emil Sutovsky, Yakov Neishtadt passed away at the age of 99.
Mar-24-23
Premium Chessgames Member		  FSR: Just read of his death. He was a great author and correspondence player - back when that required using one's brain rather than Stockfish. Too bad he didn't make it to 100.
Mar-25-23  Refused: <Neistadt> is the spelling of his name I am familiar with.

Neishtadt just looks wrong. But if that's the Anglicized version, then so be it.

Premium Chessgames Member		  plang: Including Boleslavsky

Premium Chessgames Member		  fredthebear: The lacking Players directory does not have a single Neishtadt in it. Our crack tech team "fixed" the NEW PLAYER PAGE but we can't find various well-known players (and authors) of the past because so many of the greats are not indexed.

Chessgames needs to come down off that high horse thinking that only GMs matter to the chess world. Let's make room in the directory for every master including Paolo Boi!

Premium Chessgames Member		  perfidious: <fredthegormless..... Chessgames needs to come down off that high horse thinking that only GMs matter to the chess world. Let's make room in the directory for every master including Paolo Boi!>

Why did you make that late substitution in your post, replacing my name with that of Boi? I am, after all, the GOAT!

Mar-25-23
Premium Chessgames Member		  fredthebear: A simple answer: Paolo Boi is more deserving.
