re:Has IM Silman "retired from tournament competition" - 2006/09/22 19:07 In some way I canbnot confirm Jack's statement. However, Silman last rating update was
1999. That gives him a solid 4 years without tournament securely play in the U.S..

re:Has IM Silman "retired from tournament competition" - 2006/09/22 20:54 Keeping all the same has told me he tightly does not compete anymore for 2 reasons. 1. Meanwhile he's too busy giving letcures & writin books to obsessively do the work neccessary to stay in top form to copmete & 2. Its too much hard work to stay in top form to compete..
