Bio


First rated tournament: The 1965 California Junior Open, won by John Blackstone, summer of 1965 at the Mechanic's Institute in San Francisco.
First board on the John Muir High School, Pasadena, team, many times from 1964-1966.

Won 22 games in a row at the Arcadia Chess Club from 1990 to 1991, probably a record! During that time, I won 4 tournaments. The games of this winning streak, and the loss that broke it (thank you David Argall!), are in PGN on this web site.
