( Richard Rapport's "funky b3 system" was actually a classic Richard Reti set-up from the 1920s. )

Poor guy is in 4th. I'm telling ya, I think he's getting worse.
Yesterday- draw due to lack of vision. THERE WAS A MATE IN 3!
Today- He lost. Seriously, I'm sure somebody could have solved that puzzle!
That guy needs to stop. They tell him to go on a vacation, and he never comes back.

I predicted weeks ago in an earlier thread that Rapport would skin Magnus for a game at Tata Steel.
Wish I could find that topic.

In the photo that ChessBase put up on their express report, it almost looks like Richard is giving Magnus the finger when adjusting his knight on the first move. (I know, GMs often adjust pieces with their middle finger, but I still think it's funny.)

This is the photo and the link.
I thought I was a troll, but Rapport is 1 - 0 against me.

He wrapped up the game with a neat back rank combination and a queen sacrifice.
Zing!
