Acknowledgments
As
a
personal story, this book
has special
meaning
for
me.
I
have
to
thank
|ohn
Emms
for not only letting
me
write
it,
but
actually
suggesting
it
in
the
first
place.
A
chess
career
is
nothing
without
the company
of fellow
travelers. Thanks
for
the memories
to my
grandmaster
colleagues,
John Fedorowicz,
Michael Wilder,
Larry
ChristianserL
Nick
DeFirmiary
Yasser Seirawan,
and Michael
Rohde.
They
made
the
journey
worthwhile.
I
wouldn't
be
in
the
teaching
business
now
if
not for my
good friends fohn
MacArthur
and Sophia Rohde.
Deborah
Quinn
Benjamin
came
into my life
very
late
in
my
playing
career.
I
can
t
help
feeling
some results
from
the past
would
have come
out differently
if
I
had
known
her
love
and
support
at
the time.
Thanks
to
Debbie,
I
can
enjoy
the
present and
future
more than
a
dozen
U.S.
Championship titles.
My
parents,
Phyllis
and
Alan, knew
how
to support
my
chess
endeavors
with-
out
trying
to
control them.
My
father
didn't live
to
see
the
recent chapters
of my
life, but
his
presence
will
always
be
felt. I
dedicate this
book
to his
memory.
