If you mean the dispute between Amir and Bob, my memory of it is a bit different
(not cheating) but could be faulty. If it's something else, you'll have to
remind me. I was there handling TSCP for Tom BTW. In any case, they were at ends
due to a dispute that had nothing to do with CCT1, and due to some automated
function in the Crafty account, Amir's account was on the Censor list. When
their round was due to start, Bob hadn't arrived yet, and Amir was on a warpath
claiming this was a deliberate maneuver on Bob's end and claimed he was leaving.
A few minutes later, a couple of minutes before the round was due to start, Bob
arrived and when told about it, corrected the mistake, but Amir wanted some kind
of public apology or something. Eventually they both played as they were th
tournament leaders and Junior went down. In any case, as far as CCT1 is
concerned that's the only issue I can recall, other than Diepeveen's terrible
connection problems, though none held it against him. Please note that both are
in the event. :-)
