Hello Albert,

would you care to explain fully what you put in rather cryptic and unclear
terms: "ChessBase forced him."

Is it:

a. ChessBase were exerting so much influence on the SSDF that Hans Ch. Lykke was
forced to stop the match after the initial bad results of the CB program;

b. ChessBase hired thugs who _forced_ him to stop the match;

c. ChessBase have been promoting such devious and unethical politics that Hans
Ch. Lykke was somehow "forced" to stop the match?

or

d. something else that did not occur to me?

I am asking this, among other things, in the light of the fact that the match
was never actually stopped as evidenced by Mogens's post little below.

Since your message leaves a lot to be explained, please enlighten both me and
the Forum as to the true content of what you had in mind, otherwise there might
be too much improper and unasked for speculation.

Regards,

Djordje
