IMO what he should have done is: do nothing that could damage YOUR relationship. i was in quite a similar situation when operating CSTal in paderborn once, against hiarcs (operated by Karsten Bauermeister). difficult to be as fair as possible. if he HAS knowledge, from working very intimate with you on shredder, he should better NOT use it against shredder IMO. i remember once (paris) mchess (operated by peter schreiner) had to play against CSTal. peter and me had the same room in paris. of course we did NOT influence anything. that would be fair towards marty or chris. nevertheless, the game ended in a weird theory line, that was draw in the end. >If this is not true and you are concerned about your good reputation you should >maybe comment on the above statement of Marcus Kästner, telling us weather it is >true or false. Also before you are blaming me of calling you a cheater >indirectly you should check what information your operator is spreading. YOUR operator... you know that marcus is a person on his own and not influenced by rebel-team. it is YOUR operator for london. he is not ed's slave. >I also stated a hundred times that I believe that you did not cheat because I >have a clear opinion who is not telling the truth and who is not in this whole >story. you believe marcus is not telling the truth and ed does not understand about this, or what does this sentence mean ?! >Stefan
