Unbelievably the GK does it again! The GK gets an early lead and manages to hold on to it.
Basically I wouldn't bet against the GK v any dedicated CC! It has made some silly mistakes but it has also made some cracking moves!
This gives it a match performance of 2139 elo and 28/56 points against some stiff opposition.
