Aug-10-12    perfidious: Another of the talented young players who lived in Boston and/or went to university there when I lived in the city, along with David Glueck, Patrick Wolff and James A Rizzitano, to name only several. Boston was an outstanding place to develop one's skills back then. Aug-11-12    GrahamClayton: Another player who gave up competitive chess for an academic career: http://nerdwisdom.com/about/ Aug-11-12    perfidious: Yes, Jonathan played a great deal during his first two or three years as an undergrad at Harvard-we met six times in all-then it was off to the world of academia. Feb-08-13    qjuice14: I played him a couple of weeks ago. Nice guy, super smart. Was fortunate enough to get my first win vs. an IM
