He found himself becoming very competitive in these particular card games while playing his father. After finishing Sr. High school, Howard decided to place college on hold for a little while and moved to New York City to compete in some formidable chess. While participating in chess, he was brought in to a poker game going on in the rear of the room. Howard’s 1st two years were difficult as he would play many hours and don’t win a majority of the time. He made some additional money by becoming an assistant for the poker players. He judged he might boost his game by balancing his life outside of poker. He made an effort to get more sleep and focus more on the game.

The real improvement in his game happened when he began playing at the Mayfair Club in New York. The Mayfair was a bridge and backgammon club where the the most favorable players would often challenge one another. He had access into several of the best players in chess.
