Svidler’s hair cut is a mirror image of Ringo Star around 1965!
Nice win today, BTW. Really nice!
Did he finish -3? How many rating points did he lose?
I think he lost almost 7 points, with a total gain, in the 3rd quarter of 2 points. He is still 12th in the Fide list. Regaining the top 5 will be very hard for him!
