Well, some of them can, and some of them can't. And
more of them could if they practiced/got into playing
shape. The questions are better, but the great ones, or
at least several of them, could adapt. All the truly
great players know more than just what comes up. Seeing
how players of yore do on the master's circuit gives
some indication.
