After missing out on an RP Olympiad berth, Eugene Torre must have been thinking: "I told you so!" He's just won the 3rd PGMA Cup, but that was thanks only to a superior tiebreak after he, grandmasters Li Chao and Zhang Zhong all finished on 7 points.
In the official press release, writer Ed Andaya couldn't help himself: "The Eugene Torre of old is back. And the whole world better watch out".
I don't know about that. Still, you can't help but be impressed with this.
