In Response To: London Open Professionals Match Analysis (falafel)

Now that everyone can be completely hind sighted after the XG analysis, why would anyone be willing to stick his neck out and be a commentator on a match unless he can simultaneously see what XG is saying? Of course Falafel is going to disagree with some moves that the player got right, and visa versa. Both are making their decisions over the board and fairly quickly.

So this time Raj got some right that Falafel would have missed. Some times it is the other way around, but you can be sure that unless the commentator has XG in front on him, he will always get some wrong. (I have had several Giants who were watching my match tell me I made a blunder on a play or cube only later to find out that I happened to be right and they were wrong.)

I think it's one thing to do a postmortem on a match, and that's fair and reasonable, but to do a postmortem on the commentator, who is there to add color and make it interesting and have to come up with ideas on the fly, is not really fair.

Is there anyone out there who doubts Falafel's skill? Is there anyone out there that would like to watch a match with Falafel and bet against him on every move? I'll book that bet.
