  Congratulations Nicolas!  This is a big gain over the last match.
  Three victories in six games is truely an outstanding result.
  Samb is the worlds number 8 player.  Any plans to play one of the
top seven?  Based on this result, how would you expect to score
against the number one player??

Regards,
Steve
