Farago,I (2540) - Jansa,V (2500) [E61] AUT-chT, 1994 1.d4 d6 2.Nf3 g6 3.c4 Nf6 4.Nc3 1-0 :) >Bosboom's behaviour was not gentlemanly, nor was it >productive. The KNSB's way to handle thing wasn't either. Why are you only blaming one side, while it's obviously a two way street? >_No one_ gained anything. Everybody lost. You're dead right. I wished the KNSB realized that after the ongoing storm of protests. They turned it down even without looking at it. >Especially this forum >which would actually be very much interested in a genuine playing performance >by Fritz (or _any other top_ program) in such a strong tournament vs humans. You are right again. This forum would. But a chess players community, often playing for their living, don't want to get stuck in a roulette: will rules apply this time? Will they be changed depending who's at the gate? If the tourney organisation sticks with its rules, everyone's okay. The Dutch federation didn't. That's what's this about. Not about anti-computer feelings.
