The golden oldies were well in the procesa of fading at the end of the 1980's into the 1990's though. I suspect many of those ago turned pro very end or the 1980's up to 1995 would have replaced the 1980's golden oldies in the top 16 had they been born 10 years sooner all turned pro 10 years earlier than they did.

White should have been 16-10 up in 1992, but he was not sober and was high and after he went 14-8 he missed 2 big opportunities in those first 4 of the 10 he lost in a row that would have put him 16-10 up. He lost all 4 and once it was 14-12 there was no turning of the tide back in White's favour.
