But don't forget he had big influence in the opening lines, i.e. he adjusted the
opening lines based on many games he had played.

I know what you are referring to, I have seen it myself. :-)
I don't know if he has learned, honestly I doubt it, but he has made some
preparations to avoid that this mishandling will happen again. No, it is not
disabling the screensaver but marking a special key he can press when there is
need to come back to the game from the screensaver. :-))) Maybe you'll see this
in Paderborn. :-)

play two rounds so that the 150km and back are worth it.
