Posted by Administrator in : Uncategorized , trackbackBooks: My first book, Chess Bitch: Women in the Ultimate Intellectual Sport, intertwined the stories of top women players with my own experiences on the international circuit. Check out the Philly Weekly review, the Foreword Magazine review or listen to the embedded WNYC Chess Bitch interview with Leonard Lopate. I recently contributed to a book on Marcel Duchamp and chess that is currently available on Francisnaumann.com and theartofchess.org.

I’m currently working on fiction that deals with games, sexual confusion and modern dating. The idea is a beach read that doesn’t make you feel you lost 20 IQ points.
Articles: I have contributed to the New York Times, Games Magazine, the L.A. Times, New in Chess, Foreword Magazine and Chess Life Magazine, for which I am the web editor.
