He briefly took up residence in Washington Square Park in New York City, and hustled chess during the 1980s, making a living playing blitz for stakes, as is popular there.

He also had a brief appearance in Men Who Would Be Kings, a documentary about chess in Washington Square Park set in the 1980s.

He is the author and star of multiple chess instructional DVDs entitled "Roman's Lab".
