FIDE Rating 1927
I learned to play chess at age 4. I played in my first tournament in 1972, and have been playing on and off since then. I play correspondence chess through USCF, where I carry an expert rating. I have recently joined ICCF, to play international correspondence chess. I will be on the U.S. team in the upcoming U.S. v. Russia match. My favorite players of all time, based only on their games, would be, not necessarily in order, Morphy, Lasker, Capablanca, Alekhine, Tal, Spassky, Fischer, Karpov, and Kasparov. The two most gracious titled players I have met in person are IM Walter Shipman and GM Boris Gulko.
