Despite his retirement, many fans still question the champ’s skills and if he still has what he used to during his heydays.

He is so far ahead of everybody psychologically.” He added, “I think he likes to watch and change his strategy in the middle of a round. He’s playing chess, and other people are playing checkers. Being in control of your body to enact those changes. Puts you leagues ahead of other people.”
