Karl is doing well. My vote though is that Meikeljohn overtakes him sooner rather than later. He's primed to break through, wasn't too far behind Kaspar in the overall rankings at the beginning of the year, and of the 10 other players ahead of the Indian prodigy only Chiba is still improving. The rest are either at their peak at best, most past it … some significantly past it. It's been a strong era here but the ruling class is going to collapse very soon, and that will facilitate him moving up to around 5th or so much more quickly than would otherwhise be possible. Slam losses this year are to Sbai(twice, closer the second time) and K. Kaspar.

Thought I'd just throw in my .02 there, four players in or near the Top 20 is a heck of a thing, well done! Sri Lanka's only been able to field that many once, and briefly at that.
