  Strongest Force: Chancho, maybe Wilder thought it would easier being a tax lawyer with the IRS than it is playing chess?

For many years, Wilder, Benjamin and Fedorowitz were 3 young GM friends willing to share the joys and sorrows of chess that good friends share: traveling to many different tournaments together.

Many years ago when Benjamin and Wider were room-mates at Yale, i noticed them a few rows in front of me at a Times Square movie theater. I was tempted to sneak-up on them and act like i was a mugger and demand their money! I always wonder how they would reacted if i had done that. I decided to let them watch the movie: The Mystery Of Chess Boxing.

Aug-20-07   Maynard5: Michael Wilder retired from chess, and went into law. Today he is a practicing attorney. There are many other instances of young players who either left the game or became inactive, and then went on to successful professional careers. Examples are Ken Rogoff, today an economics professor, and Ken Regan, a professor of computer science.

  Caissanist: When Wilder won the US Championship he said publicly that he was quitting and would probably not be defending his title (he didn't). He mentioned the difficulty of making a living but also said that he thought the game was played out, there wasn't a lot left for him or anyone else to do in chess.
