re:who is Hoffman and who is Jenny Shahade's publicist? - 2006/07/30 17:43
Sorry, just my natural sarcasm reflex. Paul Hoffman is a good friend of mine and a very accomplished writer and I also know Jen. (And contributed photos to the Smithsonian article.) Paul had been working on a profile of Jen since before he went to Seattle for the US Championship. He writes on chess for the NY Times and is working on a book on chess.
I'm not aware of any publicity drive by (or for) Jennifer Shahade other than those connected to her participation in the USCF women's Olympiad training squad. She does not have an agent or publicist, unless he's very stealthy (which would be rather unorthodox!).
Chess.fm has never asked me to do anything with them, simple as that. I'll be doing some multimedia stuff for Playchess.com soon, however. I hope it will be better than the rambling on-the-fly audio/video reports I did for KasparovChess back in the day:
http://realonesearch.real.com/search/?query=kasparov&searchtype=summary&osrc=g_browser (Second one down, but it's only the final London 2000 report and interview with Garry, I think. One day I'll put up all the daily reports from the London 2000 match; some were interesting.)

Moderation is a virtue only in those who are thought to have an alternative.
