There has been a lot of criticism about the moves, most of it from sports journalists. I have found most of these articles to be so whinny and annoying. There is no way to know exactly what circumstances a GM is working under, and what the real dynamics at play truly are. We don&#8217;t have all the information the GM has, and therefore, we are not in a place to critique the moves they have made (it can be fun though).
