A middle aged albino man with long, shock white hair and known for developing strategies to defeat their opponents through long game frustration and grinding down their resolve to win.
He was the head of his high school chess club, the Stanford chess club, 3rd youngest state chess champion, several national top placements. Utilized a grinding style of play. He's quoted saying, "I don't play to win the board, I play to beat the opponent...."
He quit chess sometime in college, or a little after...said, "everything I've seen in chess makes you go crazy, I don't want to go crazy." Graduated with a math degree, went back to school for a cryptography.
Looks like he took a job as a consultant for...some small analysis company.
And wrote numerous papers about ways to avoid direct armed conflict through more clandestine activities designed to break the desired combatants resolve.
He played three games of chess with Percival, where one one, tied one, and lost the third, however Percival is pretty certain he, Pollard, could have won all three matches.
