Subject: Is ICGA just incompetent?

I wonder what would have happened, if not Shredder was the one in favor of
yesterday's break of rules, but e.g. List. In that case, the result of the game
would have been overturned into the draw it really was.

But ... when it comes to rules and when to cling to them, it's always a matter
of understanding ... the dutch TD Hering did not really understand Johnny's
operator's question ... maybe they should provide hearing aids next time ... The
ICGA reminds me of the IOC ... incompetence and bias all the way.

And: If not Fritz but Diep or Sjeng were to be denied the title of world
champion in that way, there would be lots of protests against the decision to
overrule Johnny's draw reclamation. But CB obviously did not mind, since
Shredder and Fritz are both CB horses.

That's sad. Shredder is NOT the legitimate champion. This tourney result is just
a big joke.
