Yes, indeed. He was on the NYC chess scene when Waitzkin was a prodigy and when Nakamura was developing as a player. He influenced a lot of folks. Soon after becoming a GM, Ashley turned to being an ambassador, promoter, and commentator for chess instead of a tournament player. But in his heyday he was a tough guy to beat. Very vicious tactically.

Two of the best ambassadors for chess, love it!
This is the duo we needed but didn't deserve
