Rivals and Habits

Nobody has shared more clock time with Bahruz than

If he delivers the first check, he converts over half the time; when he is checked first, he shrugs and keeps scoring anyway. The longest streak is 15 games, the longest losing swing is 12, and the tilt bar still says 12, which is a lot of tilting, coffee and queen checks.

Want the short version? He plays, he pushes, he finds the Sicilian, and his peak rapid form already had the world watching.
