I mean - if I had lost the position Kasim had with black in the KI (by the way - I would probably have played Rg8 as Kasim did - it's a very natural move) - and the position Khalifman had yesterday (=) - I would surely been mad about my own play. Selfblaming and understanding why I'm no IM or GM... But frankly I don't think these GM:s care that much. Maybe in some games when the position gets interesting and sort of take over. Like in yesterdays Kasim game. I still try to persuade a GM friend of playing some training games vs computer. In order to better keep the game together and check if the own openings and play really holds. We'll see - but if these games will happen some nerve or intense will be missing, I think. /S
