Interesting choice! Great GM but we don’t hear his name often in discussions like this. How come? What was the tournament or game that made him your favourite?
It’s not any particular game, per se. I just like his presence/demeanor at tournaments. He’s always seems happy and content, and never gets into any drama. He’s the least talked about 2800+ (in the past) player in that club, so is kind of an underdog (odd calling someone who got to 2800 an underdog). His story is also compelling to me.
