I am joining the USCF in order to participate in the WA open. The first person to PM or post their USCF ID will be awarded with membership appreciation credit.

I understand if you don't want to for privacy reasons and that's ok with me. If nobody responds quickly enough I will just leave that field blank. I just figured if I can help somebody out with no loss for me then I may as well do so.

I assume Ariane is your daughter. Are you related to Jonathan Yedidia?

The membership is in the cart right now and the purchase should be made today. Just for an update.

This is a very nice thing to do. Good show!

No, I just came across his name last year when I was looking at playing an early g3 against the Dutch. He had an interesting game against Walter Browne which I spent some time going through:

That was a good game. For a long time, he played the Dutch as Black and the English as White. Weird bishop pawn openings.

My apologies. I still plan on purchasing this, just a little change in the timing.

What is USCF membership appreciation credit? Does it somehow help a current USCF member?
