  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.

  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
