I like increments; I invented this way of playing in the 1970s.
I'm 2008 World Senior Champion Larry Kaufman, FIDE 2400
I'm 65 years old.
I live in Potomac, Maryland (near Washington D.C.)
I normally play only rated games
I don't take back blunders, so please don't ask me to do so.
I am the top ranked American shogi player; "ShogiDojo" is similar to ICC, for shogi.

I was responsible for the evaluation function of Rybka 3, now I work on Komodo
My book "The Kaufman Repertoire for Black and White" came out last year.
