In 1954, Kaufman finished seventh in the U.S. Open.[4] In 1957 at the U.S. Open, while ultimately finishing out of contention, Kaufman was in first place after the fourth round[5] and tied for third after the sixth round.[6] In 1958, Kaufman came in sixth in the U.S. Open. The winner, Eldis Cobo-Arteaga, lost his only game to Kaufman.[7] As the executive director of the American Chess Foundation, Kaufman expanded their program of teaching chess to school-age children, leading to the name change of the organization to "Chess-in-the-Schools". Kaufman is an advocate of chess as mental training and believes that chess increases children's reading and reasoning skills.[8] At the American Chess Foundation, Kaufman aided the chess prodigy Gata Kamsky in his defection from the Soviet Union in 1989.[9] He was also instrumental in the formation of the Samford Chess Fellowship and is former secretary of the fellowship committee.[1][10] Kaufman has a Morphy Number of 4 through, for example, Arthur Bisguier and Norman T. Whitaker.[1] Kaufman was a friend of Bobby Fischer in his teen years.[11] References1. ^1 2 Allen Kaufman Chessgames Biography 2. ^Chess in the Schools, New York City 3. ^"When Chess Was King of the City", New York Observer, September 14, 2015. 4. ^U.S. Open 1954, New Orleans 5. ^[https://www.nytimes.com/1957/08/10/archives/kaufman-on-top-in-national-open-gains-undisputed-possession-of.html “KAUFMAN ON TOP IN NATIONAL OPEN; Gains Undisputed Possession of First Place in Chess Tourney at Cleveland"], The New York Times, August 10, 1957. 6. ^[https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1957/08/12/84750973.pdf "CO-LEADERS PLAY TO DRAW IN CHESS; Donald Byrne and Berliner in Stalemate at National Open—Bisguier Upset"], The New York Times, August 12, 1957. 7. ^U.S. Open 1958, Rochester 8. ^[https://www.nytimes.com/1999/12/29/nyregion/in-harlem-a-chess-champion-passes-on-his-moves-and-enthusiasm.html “In Harlem, a Chess Champion Passes On His Moves and Enthusiasm”], The New York Times, December 29, 1999. 9. ^Getlin, Josh.
