After finishing high school, Howard made a decision to put college on hold for a little while and moved away to New York City to participate in some big-time chess. While playing chess, he was brought in to a poker game going on in the rear of the room. Howard’s first two years were difficult as he would play many hours and fail to win most times. He earned some extra cash by being an assistant for the poker players. He theorized he could boost his game by analyzing his life away from poker. He brought about an attempt to acquire more rest and concentrate even more on poker.
