There is a story in the Portland Oregon area about a fellow called “John Doe” who will not tell his real name. He is using the name Jason Robert Evers and will not tell people his real name. There is a Jason Evers on the MSA section of the USCF website but he is not master rated and never has been. He lives in Idaho the same as the John Doe in the news. The newspaper article on Saturday says John Doe “might be a master chess player”.
I wrote an e-mail to the journalist who wrote the Saturday article.

I went to news.google.com and searched on Jason Robert Evers. There are several stories there. Apparently he used the name of a dead boy as his own and was caught trying to use that identity on a passport application, which is a Federal offense.
The reporter replied to my e-mail about me questioning him using the term master of chess. Said he would follow up on Monday.
All three Jason Evers listed on the MSA part of the USCF website might be the same person. Guess the USCF will need to follow the court happenings and change the name in their records.
