maze is playing just wicked! the touch he always had, plus the sheer power he has gained is just phenomenal

@MeckelBot Well the hong kong guy was 607 in the world at the time of the competition. So you can see why he was just outplayed completely. I've played world class players before, so I know how it's like. It's really tough to even win points off them if they don't let me and I'm around 2200 rated in Canada. Like, they can just stand back and let me attack, and eventually, being the one under immense pressures, I'll miss. To normal players like us, their touch is almost godly!

@Leejungwoo48 if i recall, chiu chung hei is 15...so he's got a long way to go.

@MeckelBot But I agree with you. Maze is just overpowering the other guy. And you can tell a lot of the times in these points, he's not even hitting his hardest nor trying his best. He's so casual and relaxed while the other guy is just holding on for his dear life :P

@Leejungwoo48 ive trained and played against the 43rd world ranked player, so I share with you the feeling of pure weakness :)
