It’s nice to see Portisch doing well. It’s disappointing to Khalifman do this bad.
i think Khalifman gave up chess for full time drinking, though hes proven he can do both
Actually in the title to this thread you forgot Mecking who is actually on the best score (3.5/5) just that he hasn’t played as many games as Short and Portisch- perhaps better to say Portisch, Short and Mecking lead King’s Tournament (on +2)
