He's on fire lately. Tied for first in the World Open not long ago and then won the US Open this past weekend.

Did Holt really get white and 5 minutes vs black and 3 minutes? If so I don't think it needed to be said that it was an easy choice. I'm guessing it was really a choice of white and 3 or black and 5. Not so easy a choice for me.

The article didn't mention this, but I assumed black got draw odds.
