Carlsen’s consistent level of play in rapid chess is phenomenal. We all play worse as we play faster and faster, but his ratio may be the smallest ever, perhaps only a 15% drop off. Huge advantage in this format. "

Dudes I think Mr Kasparov knows what he is talking about .

A lot of pool players also likes to play Chess. Rodney plays it, Efren plays it and me also. Could that be the reason to post on main forum?

Smart decision to offer the draw and get the game to a format in which he knew he had an advantage.

Neither one would like it playing the Lion.

I can recall the days when almost all pool was "speed pool".
