Jul-20-04 | | nikolaas: The youngest IM ever. He was 10 years and 7 months when he got his title in 1994. |
|
Apr-02-05 | | Eopithecus: The he disappeared off the planet a few years later. |

Jun-30-07 | | Strongest Force: He wasn't a IM, just a national USCF master. I introduced him and his coach, Sanchez, to young Josh Waitzkin- online. Later, they came from Cal. to visit Josh. |
|
Jun-30-07 | | LIFE Master AJ: I was supposed to play in a tournament in 1999 or 2000 out west. (My flight was delayed, and I didn't make it on time.) However, I saw him play, and he was very young, and probably playing close to the 2400 level. MOST impressive!! Everyone said, "There is a future World Champion." Sadly ... today ... I don't think he even plays chess. |
|
Jun-30-07 | | Strongest Force: A few years ago i asked Sanchez how his former student was doing (i asked online) and he said Jordy was making lots of money at one of the big software companies after graduating Stanford. |
|
Jun-30-07 | | LIFE Master AJ: <Strongest Force> Good for him! Does he ever even think about chess nowadays?
|
|
Jun-30-07 | | Strongest Force: Like so many masters, i believe that Jordy (like his teacher) plays a couple times a month at the ICC but i'm not sure. |
|
Jun-30-07 | | Strongest Force: What i meant to say in last message: like so many refugee masters from active chess. |
|
Jul-01-07 | | LIFE Master AJ: np
I got the general idea.

Dec-04-10 | | MaxxLange: Ha! I probably served him a sandwich, in Palo Alto
I was working at the Stanford University coffee shop, in 1989, and they had a Bay Area chess club thing there, one night a week. Very strong club play, players like GM Walter Browne might show up.... I bet his parents took him there. |
