forget Summer Bird for a minute. Who Was Better Dunkirk or Mine That Bird?

[Bobby Fischer]

I'll say Dunkirk.

At least Mine That Bird got a realistic chance to even make a move, staying off that pace early.

I think if they both had good set ups off the pace* and both had to make a well timed move, Dunkirk beats him easily while Mine That Bird flattens out.
*John Velazquez probably is a horrible choice for that hypothetical "fair race".
