I was reading another thread and someone made this post:
"The other point is that, before, there was a decision borderline GMs had to make - go for 5th and sacrifice the training, or drop yourself to 6th or 7th in order to get full training. It is a calculated risk to settle for 6th instead of going for 5th, as you are facing a significant risk of demoting - it's no guarantee you'll win 2 out of 3, and as nick said, you likely aren't going to be optimizing training anyway, as you need to win those games. "
Can someone please explain why going for a better record you are sacrificing training?
