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. Apr-02-05    Saint: That's not true :) Meet him a few years ago in Palo Alto. Nice guy. Jun-30-07    LIFE Master AJ: http://www.uschess.org/msa/MbrDtlTn... 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. Nov-23-09    FSR: He became a master in 1994 at the then-record age of 10 years, 209 days. (This record was later broken by Vinay Bhat and Hikaru Nakamura, both now grandmasters). In 1999 he peaked at 2383. By 2004, he was down to 2270, and quit. Dec-04-10    GrahamClayton: Biography and extensive games collection can be found at: http://www.burlingamechessclub.com/... 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. Apr-23-21    Caissanist: Mont-Reynaud's latest Silicon Valley startup is a company called Perceptual, which he characterizes as being in the business of "wearables for the #BLM generation" and "corrective lenses for white privilege": https://www.linkedin.com/in/percept... . Apr-23-21    perfidious: <'(C)orrective lenses for white privilege'> Come again?
