Hi!
Awesome to see this tournament reach this number of transcribed matches! 100! :-)
I also just noticed that one match was played where both players played on 0 PR! A DMP match but still awesome! Can't remember if I have ever seen a 5pt+ match ever played perfectly by both players before.

So what can you do with all these matches? One thing is trying out all kinds of challenges based on positions from these matches but another is to try to 'Play as' one of the players in one of the matches to see how well you compare to this player. I took a stab at trying to play as Victor Ashkenazi in the perfect match he played:
Almost made it! But as it says.. close enough! :-)
Thanks a lot to everyone who has contributed transcribed matches from this tournament!
