Rebel lost the game and I am quilty of the loss.
The reason that Rebel came late is because of the fact that moshe slav did a
blood test.
He expected to do it at 8 but could do it only at 9.

Another problem is that shredder operators did not agree to play with
Century1.2a and they explained slav that it is the same as using Junior6 instead
of Junior5.

I thought to use century1.2a but slav told me not to do it so I had to install
the old century again.

My decision to use 1.2a in the past was based on some people including
almog borstein (he told me tat century1.2a is century so I can say that the
software is the same) and Ram sofer who told me:"do what you want"



I did another operator error later but it was not important at this stage and
Rebel lost the game after I was in bad mood and was sure that shredder is going
to play Nd6(I did not look much in the board because I thought about blaming
myself and playing Na3 is a typical not human move because it seems that the
knight cannot go back from a3).

I found that Na3 was played only 0.1 second after I press the clock and it was
too late because my opponent did not let me to go back.

I think that Rebel could not save the game after my first operator error.

It is better to do 2 operator errors in one game than to do 1 operator error in
2 games but if Ed wants he can fire me and try to find a better operator.
