Hi all: I just posted an answer to Enrique about the real reason behind these medodramatic gestures of resignation after a couple of moves, and do it here again because I am more and more convinced that what we have here is the beginning of an opera of political correctness, that, as so many times, will hide other, less glamorous motives. The real motives are panic to lose to the machine. On the contrary, Jeroen played because probably he felt he had good chances to win, as a matter of course, being a great player as he is. But this Boombom, to whom he has won? Which are the credentials of the guy? Surely there are not books about his best games. In short, he is just one more IM in the pack but now he got publicity and a sense of arrogant satisfaction just not playing, avoiding to lose and even more, getting an aura of heroe in some quarters. Great shot with almost no cost. Shame... One more show of low motives and despicable human arrogance gettying cover under the cloths of great gesture. Boooo... Fernando
