Ten letters is too long? That observation kind of struck me, considering my last name is 14 letters long. If you go to Thailand, in fact, most everybody has last names that, when romanized, can be 20 or more letters long.
But that's interesting that the guy is so cheerful and peppy for being someone at the top. I meet a lot of sourpusses every time I go to a tournament who treat a setback of any sort like as if someone had just shot their dog.
