He only said Junior 7 could not. The fact that Shredder will play b6 is not a guarantee that it will be successful. Sometimes more agressive moves backfire. Maybe you are disappointed that Junior 7 did not take more chances to open the files but just rember they were closed by the opponent who did not wish to fight but only hide behind the closed lines. If you want to blame someone then I suggest the GM is a good candidate. I see no reason to be upset or blame anyone. It's just chess. Gulko proved that if he doesn't want to take any chances then it's very hard to make him. Junior just proved the same thing and it's a draw. Jim
