Well done, this was the post I was referring to, even though I let him off the hook regarding cross examination. >True you suggested it and I believe Pavel (not sure) then posted that >it checked out ok.

No, it doesn't and I don't there's anything distatseful. On the data available I don't see any reason to doubt the testing methods of SSDF, nor the majority of the games played. I'll leave the critical questions to Uri, but there haven't been that many obvious or unexplainable problems with the games posted AFAIK. That you decide to perform a few blitz and standard tests doesn't put you in the same league by a longshot. At the time you didn't have any comparable data to my knowledge and the SSDF did, so I have a hard time seeing your point of view, nor finding anything wrong with mine. Sincerely, Mogens
