Marc Esserman

Recent results for Marc have seen him score all the norms he needs to obtain his IM title and he is just waiting on clarification of reaching the FIDE 2400 mark for the title to be awarded.
STYLE:
Marc describes his style as technical. ”I like to trade pieces and go for technical endgames”, he said in his 2008 interview. However, Marc’s style is far away from technical; his creativity is outstanding in tactical positions and he is steadily becoming one the most dangerous tacticians in the USA.
