John v/d Wiel toghether with Yasser Seirawan were labelled as the comp
killers during the yearly AEGON tournaments. I must dig for their stats
against comps but I believe both did not lose one single game during
all those years. Correct me if I am wrong. I hope I am wrong as they
seems to be unbeatable.

Last Aegon tournamnt was in 1997 (I believe) so let's see how much
progress have been made.
