    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!

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

    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...
