Luke Mcshane

I would look here -

I would guess that a junior guy is making 100k plus up to 100k in bonus. GS has a very small % of guys who make a big chunk- like in their distressed assets group for example. I seem to recall that last year that guy made 240mil bonus or something. McShane will never be that guy I would guess.

Good luck getting to Managing Director at Goldman- it would be far easier to make law partner at a top international law firm. 🙂

dudes. more chess, less speculation on how much the Great Satan pays for chewing its way through expendable gamblers.


I've also been impressed by how well luke's been doing lately like everybody else. looks like he might be punching through right now. I mean, if he can sustain this level of play, he's already made it to the top. the ratings will catch up soon enough, that's just a matter of time.

then again, he'll be taken much more seriously by the big boys from now on, so it'll all get more difficult as well.

As you could see from my bio for more than a year now, I'm a big fan of Luke's, and it pains me a bit that he doesn't play professionally, but looking at it like he might, you get yourself set up in your profession of choice first; then you dabble.

We may indeed not see him ever again, but if we do, it might not be for a while - or maybe just till London Classic 2012 😉 He is, after all, a crowd favorite, and director Malcolm Pein knows that.

Also I should mention, for those not aware of him earlier, that he had somewhat mixed results on the circuit for several months or so earlier in the year. That is, he didn't always crush the non-elite players. I think he really gets up for the London Classic. He prepared for it well. That said, no amount of preparation will give you the strength to beat Magnus Carlsen (London 2010) or put him on the ropes (London 2011). Few people in the world can do that.

One of those few others - and hovering right around Luke's new rating - is the young Frenchman, Max Vachier-Lagrave, another bloke I have been following closely.
Both Luke and Max are tremendously talented.

Wonder what his new rating will be, his performance rating was well into the 2800's.
