He didn't say that van Wely played a weak game, but just the opposite. If you
remove the free points from van der Sterren and Bosboom when the tournament is
over, then it'll be more obvious whether Fritz has GM strength or not. Even
though a claim that Fritz has GM strength due to this tournament alone is
complete baloney IMHO. It looks more like a strong IM or a weak GM to me.

Sincerely,
