In August 1941, as a child, he was evacuated with his mother, first from Kiev to Stalingrad, then, when German troops approached the city, the family fled to Soviet Central Asia.[2] His father, a chemical engineer, Israel Gershkovich Teplitsky, volunteered for the front and was killed in action in 1941.[2] Some of his family members perished during the Holocaust.

In February 1993, he repatriated to Israel and lived in the city of Bat Yam.[3]

Teplitsky was recognized as the best chess journalist of Israel in 2002 by the Israeli Athletic Association. For five years, he worked on the Israeli radio RECA as a chess observer.

His name was included in the publication of the popular newspaper The Secret under the rubric "Jewish Names".

Among his main works is a large study called Jews in the History of Chess (1997).[3]

Teplitsky described his life and his family history in the context of historical events of the 20th century in his autobiographical book The Country That Stole My Life.[3]
