 I disagree that most poster's here think DJ is a super GM. At 30/0 or 60/0 yes
 DJ may very well be 2700, but not at 40/2. I agree with you
 that DJ is probably in the 2500 range at 40/2. But this "if the GM is prepared"
 pregame, pre-excuse rhetoric is getting more than a little old. She was soudly
 defeated in game one. Let's give the excuses a rest and give credit where it
 is due.
