Good it is finally underway; the opening choices are often fascinating, especially working out who may have been surprised

 It's a very good price but I see that you still don't expect him actually to win!
No I don't expect him to win, but if the tournament were run 15 times, he only has to win once for it to be a good bet..

Too much of a nice guy. Just goes to show ...
Ah, but I was so much older then. I'm younger than that now.
