FM Jon Jacobs. Watch for my article in December 2020 Chess Life, "Pugilists at Rest: Visiting Steinitz and Lasker at Their Final Resting Places." And watch for my forthcoming book, The Fish That Roared: a collection of brilliant upsets by club players (rated below 2000). See my upsets-focused Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/942969445790845/

  • Anti-cheating activist: led a petition to USCF in 2005; organized Chess Cheating Town Meeting in 2006 that drew wide attention in and out of the chess world
  • Leading US Junior competitor in early 1970s (finished tied 1st in Junior Open in '72; Pennsylvania Open Champion '73; member of Pan Am Intercollegiate Championship team in '75)
  • Author of several award-winning Chess Life articles since 2005. "How to Lose to a 1400", published August 2016, won CJA award for Best Humorous Contribution, plus honorable mention for Best Instructive Lesson (the 1st place author in that category was GM Alex Fishbein).
