Weeeell Rolf, what I should think of your post. What I should say... Probably I will be consider by you an idiot from now on, but I prefer to be honest, as you, and say my thinking no matter what. I insist in this: K is just another human being, and then... a)Human beings goes easily from masterly handling of something to poor handling of the same something. Just like that. GM even lose pieces from time to time. b) you and me, as chess player, we are a full class above, say, CM2000. Nevertheles, It happens to me that I have lost games to CM2000 for whatever reason: that day I was not happy, lost concentration, I believed I was far superior, I just commited too many mistakes, etc. And nevertheless I am far superior to CM2000. c) who knows what impressed K? Perhaps what he thought F was thinking or could think. Chess has that mirroring quality. You play, in fact, againts yourself. You see enemy movements, but are your movements. Etc d)He got bored. Gm gets bored. A row of wins and you lose interest. It happens all days. It is part of human AND GM experience. I Have seen that thousand of times. e)BTW, I am money-independent, if not a thinker. f) So, what I say is this: If K lost big chunk of power for any reason, that losing of power is part of his Gm identity, no matter what. g) Let me say a truism: ANY score in ANY endeavour in this life is, for ANY person, an average between good and bad days. That is the real entity of all of us. For K. is so, also. OK, so you now think I am a moneyed idiot....Sometimes -many times- I agree Besides nothing can be said about me worst that what I say about me. My very best to a friend no matter what. Fernando
