Yes he did
Even if did, he would be no better than a 1200 elo I believe.

As has been discussed on previous pages. Chess is in the play.
I'm pretty sure he played chess, but he never registered as a member of chess.com. That would have made the interest in literature around here so much bigger!

He’s not especially active, but joined when the site was new.
