Thanx for the link Mr. Alex...and his name is Rex!

I am just curious, since this story was before the Fabi vs Magnus match, what advice, as checkers world champion, would you Mr. Alex, give to Fabiano Caruana if he got a rematch with Magnus Carlsen?

Probably the only advice I can give him - "take it easy!" He played it very hard hurting himself in games with classic time control and rapid games. This "hardness" prevent him to win very important Game 8. And this hurt him even more in Rapid games - where you simply don't have enough time to calculate everything and suppose to make with easy heart good moves and take it easy.
