I know, but his argument against the anti-computer specialist name tag still
stands.

Opportunity does not equal expert knowledge. To be an acknowledged anti-computer
specialist requires demonstration. Nothing convincing demonstrated so far.
Speculation about an unknown degree of study and preparation against Fritz along
with a alledged knowledge of computer behaviour doesn't mean anything. So far
everything suggests a "play it safe" approach by Hübner, where he can draw most
opponents and then wait and see.
