And yet that is what you said.  Why don't you say what you mean then?

How should a 2700 player perform?  Have a 2700+ TPR for every performance?  None
of them do that.  Having a bad tournament does not make you a bad player.
Ten bad tournaments in a row is a slump.  And even a slumping Van Wely will
knock the stuffings out of most GM's.  I'd say that's a pretty good player.

It seems that you forgot who you were posting as before "Jose"
