We should not had to since we saw we were winning. >Did you ask the TD what to do about it before you continue? I don't know. Anyway I got very pest off of this story. I want to get fun to win on the board and not discuss this again and again. As I said I prefer not to protest ever and leave the decisions to the TD. I am interested in improving my book and on the games, not in the legal aspects rules etc...I leave them to the TD. Sorry, but I am really tired of this story. I will not reply to any post on this matter anymore as well as similar problems which may occur in other tournaments. I will leave this forum from now on and concentrate on the opening book only. Sorry, but all this is really too much. I do not like all this is like to be somehow accused to have stolen something. Therefore if somebody wants to get in touch with me will have to send me an e-mail, but I will not reply unless we are talking about games and not other aspects. I am not escaping, but all this has been really too much and not fun at all. Good luck to everybody Sandro > >Uri
