Jeff, Is it as physically draining as mountain biking 110 miles up and down hills and going through a four hour long Texas thunderstorm while being pelted by 1 cm hailstones as lightning strikes only fifty feet away? Is it as mentally draining as being a solitary medic on standby at a bombing range where the troops had to pick up unexploded ordnance with no special training? Is it as physically and mentally draining as being struck by lightning? What is mentally and physically challenging for some is play for others. If you or I were to play Xie Jun then we would feel extreme pressure, especially if we had agreed to personally pay her $10,000 for every game she won. I think that feeling sorry for these grandmasters is ridiculous. Tim Frohlick
