He played #10 on the English national team in Moscow. He was a reporter for AP. He started his career as a stringer reporting on international chess tournaments for AP.

Goodman became known as a real journalist for his discovery that Soviet Premier Konstantin Chernenko was dead. In Moscow for a major chess event, Goodman went early one morning to the Hall of Columns of the House of the Trade Unions where the chess event was being played. Upon trying to enter the building, he was told by the cleaning lady that the chess event would not be played that day because an important person had died.
