In the fourth round I sat next to a charming 13.5 year old girl who destroyed her 2100+ opponent (While I rolled up his brother; it was a bad day for the Traldi brothers.). Now this was "only" a girl. I just can't think of Xie Jun that way. I know this is only speculation, but I suspect that she has seen much and not everything she has seen has been good. She will come to the match thoroughly prepared and we will see what happens when a GM who has studied his inhuman opponent and prepared plays. My bet is on Xie! Cheers, Walter
