Boris Kreiman,(born June 07, 1976) an American Grandmaster of chess, was born in Moscow, Russia on June 7, 1976.
He later moved to the United States at the age of 14 and settled on Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, New York.
Kreiman began his chess training in Russia, at the young age of 5. His training started at the Russian School of Chess in Moscow. It was on Brighton Beach that Kreiman trained with Grandmaster Gata Kamsky, a Soviet-born American chess Grandmaster who was once noted for being the third highest rated chess player in the world.[1]. Later Kreiman also trained with Alex Yermolinsky, another Soviet-born American Chess Grandmaster.

Boris Kreiman has won more than 20 international chess tournaments, played in three World Junior Championships, and in three U.S. Championships throughout his chess career.[2]. He has been an experienced chess coach for more than a decade.
In both 1993 and 1996 he won the U.S. Junior Championships. In 2002, he won 3rd place in the U.S. Championship in Seattle and has also received the renowned and prestigious "Samford Scholarship".
