Yes, there was a meeting after each round.  I am not sure Kasparov attended
them all.  But after each round, the players and press met in the media center.
I wasn't there personally, so I can't say who attended which meetings, and I
don't plan on bugging Hsu to ask for recollections about what happened.

Clearly by round 3 he suggested something was wrong.  Little doubt about how
to interpret the comment Albert gave you a link to.  A direct accusation...
