Some GMs like Roman are good at playing comps. They have lots of experience, as
anyone who has been on ICC for the last 5 to 10 years knows. Topalov is not one
of them, and I have not seen any evidence that Anand is good against comps.
*YOU* replied to Hyatt posting in which he mentioned GMs like Roman. So where is
the evidence that Topalov and Anand are good against comps?
