Shame on the kids for doing so badly.
So many surprises, including the weak performance of Nakamura, and the strong performances of Smeets and Lubojevic. Overall, though, an intersting even and I’m happy to see the experience team doing so well. Is Svidler back in strong enough form to compete at the top levels again?
