Presently I am not even close to being as good as this player. Had my interest stayed with the game maybe things could have been different. I won two tournaments at age 17 and 18. I also lost to a Grand Master after two hours and 36 minutes at age 17. I helped Rebecca and her first grade class at J. X. WILSON ELEMENTARY learn to play chess and they made national headlines. I am a U.S. Chess Federation Certified Chess Coach. Only occasionally do I actually play the game. By age 18 every thought had chess moves in it for me. Once I beat the chess champion of Arizona. Another time I played best of five games for $1,000 and won in less than 20 minutes. I helped my mother learn to play. She wanted to beat an egotistical man she worked with who won every coworker during lunch breaks. Finally one day after she could win thirty percent of games she played me I said she was ready to beat this guy. During lunch she challenged him and crushed him. He demanded a rematch. She said no, I said Ill play a game. Then she also lost interest in the game. She was fantastic.
