I would like to bash people who didn't take Rockwell seriously before, but I don't think I did either. It's like his work needed to placed in this odd tournament and then compared with masters, at which point you realize, he's better than most of them. Which doesn't really apply to fellow upstart Oldenburg in this match. Anyway, a strong vote for Rockwell!
Rockwell. I live in Vermont.
Yes, Rockwell, who could sure tell a story, huh?

Wow, I kind of thought we were done with drubbings, but Oldenburg just got routed here - one lone opening vote, followed by eleven straight for Rockwell. That's a lot of votes! Rockwell will take on Berthe Morisot next, in yet another interesting matchup!
