I think shortly before the end of the Candidates tournament, you leapt to the forefront with over 40k. I was quite relieved when I was able to retake the lead on the final day of the Candidates. It has certainly been an exciting competition! Apr-09-18    technical draw: <wallytherhino> I have always said that wally is the only player with a real gambler's name. And of course he's always in contention. I gotta get me a better bettor name. Apr-10-18    FSR: <wallytherhino> Wow. Very impressive!
