I'll look for the piece. I once beat my sociology teacher, named Jerry Kaufman, twice in a row to bump an A- to an A. I think he sand-bagged. He was a fine chess player. Died last year of ALS.

I think you probably have the name wrong. My guess is that it was Feinberg. Maybe Mark or his younger brother, who was better. The name of the younger brother escapes me. I beat the younger brother who went on to be a Master level player. It was when he was about 11 years old and he was the number 2 under-12 player in the state. P.S. It was for the Class D championship of the state. Congratulations to me. The draw with Kasparov was almost certainly during a simultaneous exhibition by the Great One. If you still have a copy of your article, please send it to me. And? What did you make of it? I think you probably have the name wrong. My guess is that it was Feinberg.

It was for a feature article in the Free Press. I once interviewed a 13 yr-old kid from Oak Park named Feinstein who played Kasparov to a draw. It was for a feature article in the Free Press.
