I believe it is a significant accomplishment and I hope to follow in his footsteps. He might want to donate the Pittsburgh regalia to the goodwill ;) Go Chargers (Sproles will have a tough time if the field isn't dry) !!!! 5. ... exf6!?Jeff Turnerhttp://stalemate.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8845009903340716413.post-20526063653343509602009-01-10T14:56:44.000-08:002009-01-10T14:56:44.000-08:00Thanks, guys.

I have crossed swords (or traded pawns) with this young man a few times and I have been very impressed with Jesse's unceasing energy and enthusiasm for the game. In our most recent encounter, Jesse defended with his Caro Kann Defence 1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nd2 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Nf6 5. Nxf6+ exf6 and very quickly had his kingside pawns on g7, g6, f7, f6! Jesse called this formation "The Rock" and later told me that he makes up his own theory. In that game, I was sweating blood and even though I won that game through ---luck, I became an admirer of Jesse's play. <br /><br />Like their mentor, NM Bruce Baker, most of his students (Jesse and Daniel Grazian come to mind) play from the heart. I wish them all the best for the future -- which belongs to them!<br /><br />The only thing I object about Jesse's demeanor is that in one recent Gambito where I showed up all decked out in San Diego Charger regalia, Jesse was decked out in Pittsburgh Steeler regalia!Rick Aeriahttp://xrickaeriax.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.com
