Peter Winston

Peter Winston

Peter Jonathan Winston was born on March 18, 1958, in New York City. He was an American chess player. In 1974, he shared first prize in the U.S. Junior Chess Championship.

He is most famous for his mysterious disappearance in early 1978. While some earlier reports indicated that he had disappeared in late 1977, this was later determined to have been incorrect. According to the most recent information, he disappeared on or about January 26, 1978. Reportedly, he left his home in New York City during a severe winter storm, apparently lacking identification or money, was later reported missing, and never seen again. He is presumed dead. Although there are various theories about his disappearance, it is most likely to have been an accident.
