This is why we have the rule that says the operator can _not_ influence the game. This is why it is imperative that the TD enforce that rule. This is exactly what happens when he abdicates his responsibilities and tries to do what he thinks avoids making him look the worst in front of the participants. This is your legacy for a year. Not that it was your fault. But the title _was_ tainted. The TD decision was horrible. The title will _forever_ have an "*" beside it. That's sad... And it could have been avoided. > >> >>I bought Deep Fritz 8, and I will buy Shredder 8. Both are worthy.
