THAT is some fun information. Thanks Stu!

Yes. And importantly, the pond seems little from our outsider perspective. But it may not seem little to the top women or the top Middle Eastern players who have reporters and fans waking up early to make sure they catch the big match and interview the competitors. And it is, I'm speculating...

This is an interesting comment, and I'm wondering if the operative issue is not so much the day job as the experience being in the later all-eyes-on-this matches of the tournament. Compare, for instance Kelly Fisher (around 760) with Chris Reinhold (around 760) and imagine both getting to some...
