Goodman was educated at Latymer Upper School in London and at Keble College, Oxford. He has a BA and honorary MA from Oxford in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics. Goodman became known for helping to break the news that Soviet Defense Minister Dmitriy Ustinov was dead. The 1984–1985 Kasparov-Karpov World Championship was played in Moscow's Hall of Columns where the bodies of Soviet leaders used to lie in state. After a series of unusual timeouts at the match, Goodman was able to establish through his chess contacts that Ustinov had died. Goodman has interviewed Woody Allen and John Cleese and covered speeches by the first President Bush and former President Gerald Ford. He is the chess teacher of Don Imus and his son and has appeared on ''Imus in the Morning.'' He has a FIDE Elo rating of 2405. As of December 2009, Goodman is currently a coach for the elementary school chess team of the Abraham Joshua Heschel High School in New York City. == Books == *''Maneuvers in Moscow: Karpov-Kasparov II'' (Macmillan Chess Library) by Raymond Keene, David Goodman (Paperback - January 1986) ISBN 0-02-028720-8 *''The Centenary Match Kasparov-Karpov III'' by Raymond Keene, David Goodman (Paperback - December 1986) ISBN 0-02-028700-3 *''Showdown in Seville Kasparov-Karpov IV'' by Raymond Keene, David Goodman (Paperback - October 2003) ISBN 1-84382-121-4 *''Man Versus Machine: Kasparov Versus Deep Blue'' by David Goodman, Raymond Keene (Paperback - May 1997) ISBN 1-888281-06-5 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「David S.
