NM Doug Pader

Doug is the armed forces representative of the NY Masters. He is very versatile in his choice of openings and can be counted on to play virtually any solid variations. He is only around 2200 USCF now, but has been as high as 2360 in the past. He is quite an aggressive player and sometimes gets very good positions. In his first two games against IM Greg Shahade he had completely winning positions, but spoiled them because of bad nerves. If he can learn to finish such positions then we could see his rating climbing again.
