June 26, 1953- July 25, 2024
It pains me to write about the passing of Cindy Arth, my own ultimate chess mom and one of the Premier Chess Queens. The photo above is of my mom and me in Old Montreal on Stacey Ehrlick’s and my wedding day, September 4, 2022. In the background, you can see my father Keith and my close friend/rabbi/wedding officiant/podcast guest Rabbi Levi Welton.
My mom spent the first few years of her life in Washington Heights, before she spent most of her childhood in Yonkers, New York, along with her younger sister Ilene. She spent a few years commuting from Bayville, Long Island to Manhattan to study Merchandising and Fashion at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Since then, she spent the rest of her life as a true New Yorker, living in Manhattan. She helped raise my older brother Alex and I. She spent most of her career in the Garment District and then spent several years in the gift industry and some in retail. Her greatest joy in life was becoming a grandmother to our baby Maya.
My friend Janet Si-Ming Lee wrote, “I get a sense of how artistic she was and her love of pop music icons and community building that she shares with you. Your mom was always artistic in her fashion sense and nature.” I loved going to concerts with my mom, seeing many of our mutually favorite artists, including Crosby Stills and Nash, Ringo Starr and Dead and Company.
As a child and teenager, my mom was the ultimate chess mom, bringing me to local tournaments, the local tournaments and multi-day events where we had to travel, including the Annual Foxwoods Open and the Amateur Team East. While she may have never learned how to move all the pieces, she was always a great travel buddy and supportive coach, who helped me keep my cool after tough losses. Up until today, whenever told her I was about to play a tournament, she’d always tell me “Take your time.”
My mom was also a big inspiration on the founding of Premier Chess and has been extremely
supportive, attending most of our tournaments, camps and holiday parties. One fascinating discovery we made is that Steven Mitlitzky, who has not missed a single Premier Chess blitz tournament, was born on the same day as my mom, June 26, 1953.
Mom- You will never be forgotten; your spiritual presence is internal. The road goes on forever.
I’m so sorry for your loss, my deepest condolences to you and your family.
What a wonderful tribute, and it probably brings you joy that your mom not only seen you grow up, excel in chess, but also find a wonderful wife and had a chance to meet your first child. These are such important milestones that always gives us a few smiles in the hard grief that passing of a parent brings. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Sharing our deepest condolences to you and your family. What a lovely remembrance.
Thank you for sharing this story about your Mom and I am so sorry for your loss. I will be thinking positive thoughts for you and your family during this difficult time.
Evan, I’m sorry for your loss. I can only imagine how difficult this time is and how difficult it is to share your memories with others. But good on you for sharing and remembering. We can’t stop remembering our loved ones and sharing those memories with others. I love how you finished saying, “You will not be forgotten, your spiritual presence is internal.” Keep her close in your heart.
I know this time is challenging. If you ever need someone to talk to, let’s catch up. I may not be in NYC, but I’m only a phone call away.
That was me buddy. I totally spaced on where to put my info. I’ll talk to you soon.
So sorry to hear about your mother’s passing. Surely, your heartfelt words would have meant so much to her. Hope with the passage of time things will get better for you and your family. PS. Too funny about your mom still telling you to “take your time” when you play.
