optimal play: <perfidious: That is where conditions in professional tennis were clearly different than at any time from the early 1970s onwards--it is impossible to compare those periods, and no amount of jingoism from <suboptimal> will change matters.> It must be Hell being you, |

optimal play: Congratulations Anish Giri.
Commiserations to Nodirbek Abdusattorov.
<HeMateMe: Abdu finally slipped, at the end. Maybe the moment was too big for him?> Yes, it looks like he choked at the end. Against Jorden van Foreest, whose only win thus far was against last place ... |

Jan-25-23 J van Foreest vs V Keymer, 2023 
|
optimal play: Interesting to compare the final position of this game with that of
