You are quite right. If the arbiter was absolutely sure, in my books that would
mean that he could have solved this problem in a much superior style.

I think we in Germany must get rid of such intriguing practices, that we act
like peeping toms and violate the privacy of our guests at will.

I don't remember her name, I suppose it was Marlah Grey or such some, she was a
singer with a fabulous male voice. Couple of months ago, she had to p__ and went
into one of the public loos in Munich. Compartment for MEN!!! Someone
(unfortunately it must have been a German again) called the police! Since then
the whole magic of that woman has disappeared...

Did you think about such tragedies too when you tried to find some arguments for
tournament arbiter Mark Keller? Would you like that someone is caught while
doing some sexual acts in his privacy on the loo? How do you know that Keller
was sure? What - if the man had opened his journal and had begun to m_____?

Ok, we have learned that betrayal in computer chess tournaments could NOT be
prevented, but why do we think that it should be possible to prevent in human
tournaments? BTW your remark on Ingo Althöfer shows bad taste because he surely
isn't a cheater. On the contrary he plays in all openess with the support of
chess programs. This is a more experimental variation of chess. Even liked by
some GM.

Kind regards,
