Chess Gamer, Vol 2: Return 2004-2013

Descripción

“This is the second volume of my memorable games collection. Here you will find games that I played

after my return to chess back in 2004. It had been eight years since my last tournament, and so much

had changed for me. I had entered my first marriage and just graduated from Touro Law Center with an

eye on my favorite subject, Intellectual Property, and on another new development at the time called

cyber law, which dealt with issues related to the internet and international jurisdiction.

 

At the same time it represented an opportunity for me to return to something that I had devoted so much

time and energy to, the game of chess. For the first time in my life I was free to pursue directions of my

own choosing.

 

The decision was a difficult one, but finally I decided to return to chess, feeling that I could somehow

positively influence both FIDE and the chess world in general. They were still split and had different

world champions, the FIDE one, and the PCA one, which was the more prestigious of the two. The PCA

World Champion was Mr. Kramnik, who had succeeded Mr. Kasparov as World Champion in the long

line of world championship matches.

 

Clearly there were some triumphs and failures during this period of my chess career, but ultimately I feel

that I have left a certain mark on the generation from which the world’s current top players have

emerged.
