Because be plays way too many games and eventually make mistakes or time outs.
His real playing strength I would estimate is 2300-2350

And don't forget he is the only RHP champion until now, winning both 2005 and 2006 championships!

Actually such kind of queen sacrifice is idea of Bronstein (he got good position but mistaked and lost).

I am too ratther fond of Bronstein's approach to the game.
Is this game on the Bronstein's on the KID's book? I think I've seen it somewhere before...

May I add that there is a book by IM Timothy Taylor, named "Beating the King's Indian and Grunfeld".
