He probably underestimated you the first time. At least, that would be my guess and you can't ignore the more than 200 point rating diff.
I played a reasonably good game on that occasion, but minor slips here and there by PR gave me some excellent chances.

mmm. 😕 I think the gulf between 2100 and 2300 is vastly greater than between, say, 1200 and 1400, or 1500 and 1700. The amount of extra technique, knowledge, practice &c. required to traverse the 2100-2300 gap is - horribile dictu - something I will never at my age be able to acquire. I still marvel the games of these RHP greats, though, and at least try to study them as often as possible.
