Stable like Zhang Jike HaHaHaaa!!!!
Lol. Sorry, but when has Zhang Jike been stable? His play is like manic depression; sometimes he just quietly loses and forgets a handshake and the other day he is jumping around shouting and ripping shirts.

Haha i didn't mean mentally stable ;-) But he wins against lower ranked opponents unlike Ma Long does. That is all I wanted to state

It was painful watching that - the helpless undoing of an erstwhile number 1 favorite. It's as though he had lost his spirit or will to survive. Though now physically challenged by a younger, speedier bunch (Koki and Lee Sang) , I believe he still has it in him to turn things around..., with hard, boot-camp style work, and a lot of ego-cuddling! No doubt, he feels very much alone right now.
