page=384] was a U.S. Senior Master of chess born in New York City. He played several times in the U.S. Chess Championship. He was known for his swashbuckling-style, playing risky or sacrificial openings such as the Orang-Utan attack.

One year, Seidman won the most games of any player in the U.S. Championship, but he also lost the most games and, as a result, finished last.

He played on board eighth in a famous double round robin the USA vs USSR radio match in September 1945.
