He retired from Brooklyn College after more than 20 years as professor of Psychology where h was a distinguished teacher and researcher.
Weinstock served in the Army during World War II. After the war, he majored in math and physics and graduated from City College of New York; he received his doctorate in Psychology from Indiana University.
He was a strong advocate for civil rights and environmental issues, enjoyed nature, chamber music, traveling and art.
Weinstock was a participant in the 1944 US Championship in which he scored 7-10 and tied for 10etg place with Atillio Di Camillo. Weinstock won the Correspondence League of America championship in 1999.
His opponent in the following game was Harold Stenzel (born 1952) who is an International Arbiter. The game was fairly even until Stenzel played 12...Bxa6 which precluded his castling to safety on the Q-side. His final mistake was the loss of time trying to make K-side threats with 15...Qh5. After that he got walloped.

-Herboth,T Baden-Baden 1993 After 9...Qd7 10.Ne5 he loses material. 6...b7 7.0-0 f6 8.g5 h6 Risky. He should play 8...Be7 8...xd4 would be a
serious mistake. 9.xd4 d6 9...xd4 10.b5+ 10.e1 White us winning. 9.xf6 gxf6 Evidently black though he would have attacking chances owing to
the semi-open g-file. That won't be the case. 10.c3 10.d5 This tactical
shot secures excellent chances for white, For example... exd5 11.g3 d6 12.e1+ f8 13.f5 Black is left with a shattered K-side and his K is likely to
find itself in a predicament. 10...e7 11.a4 With his last two moves
white has failed to take advantage of black's play with the result that the
position is nearly equal. d7!= 12.a6 xa6 This is wrong because
black is now unable to play ...O-O-O 12...0-0-0 13.xb7+ xb7 and jis K
is quite safe. 13.xa6± g8 14.ad1 d5 15.fe1 h5
This is consistent with his idea of conducting a K-side attack, but it is
tactically faulty as Weinstock simmediately demonstrates. 15...b5 cutting
off the Q offers a glimmer of hope. 16.a4 b8 17.b4 f5 and black is
surviving. 16.g3 Not bad, but 16.Qb7 was much more forceful. 16.b7 d8 17.xc6+ White has won a piece. 16...d5 17.c4 d7 18.d5 Busting the
position wide open with black's K caught in the center. exd5 18...b4 19.b7 c8 20.xc8+ xc8 21.a3 a6 22.d4 e5 23.c6 with a decisive
advantage. 19.xd5 c8 20.a4 b7 21.d4 b5 22.xb5! Black resigned. 22.xb5 c8 23.xc6 f8 24.xe7 etc 1–0
