Aside from the wiseguy commentary, there is little actual chess info about anyone outside of the USCF's web site,which will, from time to time, mention someone and give an occasional game. If you want to really follow someone, you should probably try to find him on Facebook or some such thing and get in touch with him for updates on his activities.  

On line activities get so many wiseguy comments, because you can't punch someone in the face. Wink

 Yeah, that's more like it. If you're not nice, I'll write a 500 page book that details exactly how you're a big doofus. Of course no one will read it...

I met and played Ray this past week at a 30 player simul in Sarasota, FL.  A very gracious and creative player.  I'm blogging on the event at: http://blog.chess.com/gls10/playing-ray-robson.  

If you want to learn more about the kid who broke Bobby Fischer's youngest American grandmaster record you'll find the book Chess Child quite interesting - I've enjoyed what I've read so far.  Not only is he the best pound for pound, he's also the best day for day as the current youngest GM in the world.
