You're right. He realized this when he kept getting his weakling XXX kicked
and knew he would never be a GM, not with all the tutors in the world
helping him. So why do morons like Ray Gordon keep glorifying this most
prozaic of players. Waitzkin wouldn't have a chance in hell against any of
the top 100 in the world.

Sofia is too good looking to be a loser. I would swap rooks with her any
time. I didn't like her comments about Fischer though.
