Having competed at the 2014 International Faceting Challenge with 4 other Grandmasters which made up the team and placing above 2 other Grandmasters on our team I do not have to prove I can cut at the Grandmaster level. At least I could in 2014. I placed 11th against all the cutters in the world that entered that event.
Alan I look forward to hearing about your accomplishments in the Faceting world.
