even without the injury Boll is not the player he used to be alas. you can feel he's not as quick, or as powerful. Still its a pity because even far from his best, he was close to winning this championship. I think Gauzy was a slight favorite against Boll if we look at recent performances and recent form, but Boll has more experience and was handling the pressure better, that's why he won the first game.
It looks more and more likely Boll will retire soon (and Samsonov as well). The 2 big european champions of those last 15 (or 20 !) years will be gone...
