I said I would be impressed if Stick got both of these right. I am very impressed.
Exactly how impressed am I?
Rememeber when Stick lost in the first round of Monte Carlo and told us how bad his opponent was? I am so impressed with Stick that I now believe it is possible that Stick may have outplayed his first round opponent in Monte Carlo.
Mind you, I am not saying that Stick is a better player; I am just saying that Stick may have outplayed him in that one match.
Two rollouts are posted below. If anyone wants the files, let me know.
