I think it was a decent effort though, not sure a glum face is what I would use. His overall week was promising and this result not at all shoddy

I think SC just puts up a glum face every time a British player loses! So I'm sure no shade intended on Arthur. smile

But I agree Arthur put up a good showing against a player who's been ranked 200 places higher than his CH and who is still ranked nearly 150 places higher!

Correct, though I don't use it every time, especially when a Brit loses to a much more highly ranked opponent, though I prefer to think of it as a sad face rather than a glum one. I definitely wasn't disparaging young Arthur's performance.

No, of course, get it!
