Mr. Faber were claiming that Dr. Hubner hadn't previously played against comps , that reply was against that argument. The anticomps claim derives on the _fact_ that he were allowed to study and prepare against DF , to discover weak points and strategies exploiting this points. I am pretty sure that Dr. Hubner know quite well the comps and their behaviour since 1990 ,as I wrote, so he isn't certainly an absolute beginner in this field as you can imagine. Regards.
