Frank. Frank. Frank. Tell me something. Is the only thing that matters the numbers? I don't think it is. White is indeed NOT Larry Legend, however, as some are pointing out, White's game STRONGLY RESEMBLES that of Mr Bird in several areas. There is simply no denying that. Is there something wrong with making such a comparison? Will he ever reach the same level or close to that of Bird? For some reason I'm thinking not even you know the answer to that one.
1. no, but they sure don't hurt.
2. you're right, I can't say that, but I can say that your chances of reaching birds level is on the same order of magnitude as aaron's
