	And what about learning curves? He may as well experience difficulties in assimilating some of the new stuff they have examined.. or that does not apply to super-GMs?

	We'll find out whether those lessons with an old retired Grandmaster were of any use.

	Since the Nanjing super tournament (average rating 2766) starts in the next 24 hours, it's a good time to start a tournament poll. I predict a tie for first between Topalov and Carlsen. Topalov won the event last year with a round to spare, and while Carlsen hasn't played since Dortmund this year, the training with Kasparov should pay dividends for him.

	All our dreams come true if we have the courage to pursue them.
