Jay Richard Bonin (born July 7, 1955, in Brooklyn, New York) is an American International Master in chess, chess teacher, author and lecturer. He is known as the "Iron Man of Chess"[1] and is among the most active tournament players in the US, having played over 25,000 tournament games (over 13,000 games since the US Chess Federation started collecting data in 1991 and an estimated 12,000 games for his almost 20 years of tournament play prior).[2]
According to a 2012 article by Dylan McClain in The New York Times, Bonin has "probably has played more tournaments than anyone. The United States Chess Federation lists more than 3,300 tournaments Bonin has competed in since 1991, which is as far back as the computerized records go, though Bonin played just as frequently in the '80s."[3][4][5] His peak USCF rating is 2526.[6]
