Young Misha has quite the future ahead of him in the sport. I did enjoy both his obvious intellect and the way he reacted to losing on time, too. Still a child, which is lovely. =) He will learn to accept draws much more readily as he matures.

At times, you can see Anatoly adopt a look of quiet amazement on his face; I saw that same look often as he faced Garry Kasparov in the 1984/1985 World Championship. "I have to be serious or there's going to be trouble here..."

Osipov reminds me a little of Reshevsky, or perhaps Capa. Good luck to him, and I hope these two can have many rematches!
