I'm replying to that in another thread.

I don't understand, shouldn't other people be happy that we refuse to 'fix'
the results?

If we'd have let Deep Sjeng and Rebel lose against Tiger, Tiger would
have won. Big 'accomplishment' eh? I'll leave that sort of practises
to other people, thank you very much.

If you want to throw games because of commercial reasons please go ahead,
but I'm into this 'sport' because I want to show how good my program is, and
not how many friends I've got or how big my influence is.

Vincent implied that Deep Sjeng gets good scores against Chess Tiger, when it's
running on a dual. Robert then went on to pretend he knows anything in that
matter and that 'Fortunately, the so-called "results" are not that repeatable
when real tournaments get played...', which is pure baloney, because Vincents
original statement was correct and also because Deep Sjeng has a positive score
against ChessTiger in tournament play (even if you go back to when I was still
an amateur).

So basically, nothing whatsoever that Robert said had any basis in reality and
hence I _of course_ strongly disagree with him.
