So I tried to think what match length might make it a close decision, and did not come up with any.

It would be interesting to hear MCG's side of the story. I would speculate that his immediate gut reaction was to drop, and when his calculations seemed to indicate otherwise, he felt the need to double-check and triple-check. I know that when my gut reaction differs from my calculations, I tend to burn a lot of time trying to reconcile the two. A complicating factor is that I know that I frequently miscount pips and match equities. Sometimes I have even correctly calculated that my takepoint was, say, 28%, and somehow managed to conclude that I should be taking more eagerly rather than dropping more eagerly!

Petko, I'm curious who the two out of ten world-class players who got this right were?
