A good accomplishment. I wonder what the odds were that he would get white in all four games against GMs? I suppose mathematically it is 1 in 16, assuming a purely random draw.
Have no idea. However, I do wish there were more matches between top players. A Shankland-Ganguly match would be fun to follow.
I love matches. Problem is that they are expensive and, for matches of any length, difficult to organize. USA federation has one rated for Friday. http://ratings.fide.com/tournament_report.phtml?event16=137223
