I have followed and been greatly impressed by Max's play and results in Sitges. On a purely technical basis, I still feel that I have to question comments such as the above. Why should his Sitges result be deemed to override other recent performances?Leonard Barden wrote: ↑Sun Dec 23, 2018 1:12 pmArguably Sitges rather than his historic rating represents his current strength
Max gained 113 rating points from his play in Sitges. That is a lot, and we should now wait to see how he backs it up. I hope that, and shall not be surprised if, he breaks through as one of our most promising juniors, but we must await confirmation.
