I played Jerry twice.. I believe he played 388D-1 when I played him but I may be wrong.. I played a practice match with him at the US Open and beat him 3:0 and then I played him at the Aurora Cup in Chicago and beat him 3:2.. He has an interesting game, more offensive than mine but his weakness is longer rallies. I usually made the point if the rally lasted longer. I wore him down in the first 2 games and then he was exhausted and I was able to take the last 3 games.
When I play players who just like me are not the most athletic guys, I try to get them into longer rallies to wear them down. Once they are tired, I increase the pace and timing of my shots and put them under more pressure.. If Jerry would be in better physical shape, he would be able to maintain his high rating but just like me, his rating is like a rollercoaster he was in the 2200's 2 years ago and in the 1900's half year ago.. My style as also his are subject to big rating fluctuations with the plastic ball. We can lose to 1900 players but beat 2400's depending on style.
