Guilbert rubbed his head and studied the board as he tried to get some information out of Aubakirov, who took a page out of Guilbert's playbook by holding perfectly still throughout the hand.

"Will you show?" Guilbert asked as he stretched and stared down his opponent, who eventually called the clock.
