I just asked him, and he said that, although he is still playing chess often, he
has not been in an actual tournament in about 2 1/2 years. He has been
concentrating on his Tai Chi training, and, amazingly enough, he has won two
world championships within the past six months (The Tai Chi world is similar to
the boxing world, in that there are multiple federations that have "Champions"
-- he is currently the world champion of two federations, in multiple
styles/weight classes.)

However, he feels that his Tai Chi training has actually made him a better chess
player, and that he does plan to return to tournament chess sometime in the
future.
