HAHA this guy is awesome. The first GM I ever heard talk that didn't sound fucking BORING. A cool funny guy that would be down for going to the bar the night before the tournament, hooking up with some girls, and stumbling into the tournament hung over in the morning.
i think this guy a real cool gm he tells it how it is,he actually seems like a person u can talk to great personality i can understand a lot from what he is saying.
John is quite a colorful character and is one of my favorites at camp! He has a knack of capturing the essence of a good or bad move in his analysis. We are fortunate to have John at camp!
John is a great guy :)

He is very entertaining and gives memorable game analysis. One of his more memorable comments to me was "You're having hallucinations, doctor!...."

i met John in Bunratty in Ireland in 2007. A really down to earth bloke with no airs. Un like the avarage GM. A true gent.
