ISER KUPERMAN played the last PANAMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP 2005 in MONTREAL
Être charismatique, doté d'un grand sens de l'humour, il déclara lors d'une fascinante entrevue en avril 2005: "Je suis un homme très heureux car je n’ai pas d’ennemis. Je les ai tous enterrés".
"I
am a very happy man for I have no ennemies. I have outlived them all" said
Mr. Kuperman during his interview.
Iser Kuperman is called a legendary person. In all history of checkerplaying
,nobody, even not some federation of a country, nobody made so much contribution
in development and theory of playing this game.
His series of tremendous successes in competition of checkers continues till
this time. He is still one of the strongest Grand Masters in the world in his 83
year: he was born on 21 April 1922.
Iser Kuperman started playing checkers at 13 years of age; he played in that
time more then 3000 tournaments and 7x received the title of worldchampion.
In April 1958 after winning the tournament in Rotterdam ,the World Checkers
Federation introduced the title of international Grand Master and Iser Kuperman
received as first person this title.
Iser Kuperman published more then 40 books on theory and strategy of checkers.
They were published in Russian- English- French- Holland- Spanish- Portugeese
languages and also in Braille. In total about one million books have been sold.
Iser also wrote stories related to checkers and chess which have been published
in various periodicles. In America has been published the large novel about his
life "Fate of a champion" in Russian and English languages ; now this
book is a rarity.
During his interview he mentioned: "I have published many combinations and
now they are used by my opponents and is it for me more and more difficult to
beat them".
The last 25 years Iser is living in Boston, USA and he told some funny stories :
"I was once visiting the physician in the polyclinic - Mrs Kaplan - and I
asked her:
are you from the same family Kaplan who tried to kill V. Lenin ? It is a big
honour to be your patient ".
At that moment a nurse came in the cabinet and asked: "Doctor, what shall I
do. I gave a mixture to my patient and after that I noticed that on the bottle
was announced "Shake before use". I did not do that, what must I do
now ?.
And I immediately made advise "Take the patient and put him
upside-down".
Dr. Kaplan told : "Shut up, Mr. Kuperman and take off your dress and lay
down on the couch". I asked her: "And what about you doctor ?".
Dr. Kaplan answered:
"You make me ready for an attemt on your life too !".
She threw me out of the cabinet and told my wife "Take that patient with
you for he is a hooligan". I have also problems with my wife. I ask her:
"Please draw on my back with a pencil 8 vertical lines". She asked
"-And then ?"
"Now draw 8 horizontal lines "
She asked: "And then?" "Now write horizontal a-b-c-d etc. and
vertical 1-2-3 etc.
"And then ?" "now scratch me on field E5"
Last 8 March, when she was cleaning dishes in the kittchen, I told her:
"Darling,
today is International Womens day, so stop your job and let's go to the sitting
room".
"Oh, my dear", Inna asked gladly -"you are ready to clean the
dishes yourself ?"
"No, you will clean it tomorrow !"
She was not amused and I had to go out for buying a nice bouquet flowers to make
her happy again.

Iser Kouperman est décédé le 6 mars 2006 à Boston (USA) à l’âge de 83 ans. Multiple champion du monde, pédagogue et propagandiste hors pair, auteur d’une bonne quarantaine d’ouvrages dont beaucoup font référence jusqu’à nos jours, diffusés en 500 000 exemplaires à travers le monde, Iser Iossivovitch Kouperman fut le premier Champion d’URSS au jeu de dames international en 1954 et le premier Champion du monde soviétique en 1958.
Né le 21 avril 1922 à Tchabnoïe (devenu Polesskoïe) en Ukraine, d’origine juive, Iser Kouperman eut une influence décisive sur le jeu de dames international, d’abord en URSS où ce jeu commença à se répandre après la deuxième guerre mondiale. Iser Kouperman quitta l’Union soviétique en 1978 pour s’installer en Nouvelle Angleterre, et conquit le titre de Champion du continent Panaméricain.
