Same stuff was going on at the International.

I was about to say this same thing. I love his videos, but the voice and the intonation are impossible for me in large doses. I use closed captioning.

most all players, even the pro players do not know how to capitalize on the break or use it to their advantage.
so as pat said, it is not an advantage for those players that have not perfected it or cannot run out for starting in a tough spot often enough.

there is a huge jump from the top players to the very top players as can been seen from most results in the tournaments. it is far from lineal.
