A good point. Seems Mecking under either of his aliases can draw repeatedly if
that's what he chooses to do. But at this point in time he hasn't produced many
wins against any of the top rated programs. However Roman is quite the old hand
at play computers and in Mecking's case it may be a new thing. With hope in a
few months after further play he will also learn how to win.
