Naka was very much worse in both games and won them both.
I have never understood why this particular skill seems to make some players popular. It happens in local leagues as well.
Because it is actually a skill?
Players who regularly mess up good positions are far less use, especially in team/league events. And we all know that type as well.

First rapid game drawn. Once So got to +4 the result was never in doubt.
