Yes, sorry about that. I did suggest that the game be paired with another in the same column, but the other games are quite long and meaty, so I suppose the powers-that-be decided that this one would have to stand alone. Be prepared for some zinging games in the weeks to come, though--this match is a true nail-biter! Cheers, Jay
