Maflin v Robertson

Postby chengdufan

With Jimmy Robertson and Kurt Maflin almost neck and neck in the all-time ranking list, I noticed that their best ever tournament runs offered an intriguing comparison.
Which run was more impressive is for me a close call. I'd be interested in hearing the island's views.
