Hi Vincent: I do not doubt of what you heard from Amir, but I have an altoguether different interpretation of it. Probably he saw a great mistake commited by Ferret -it did it and that's reason Ferret did not win- and then made his statement, maybe not too happy as much it could be interpreted as you did. How could be otherwise? All here know Bruce and all here know that once the game started no one can do nothing to change the direction. In fact ferret was winning almost all the time. So, when you see an almost won game becoming a draw you exclaim that the game "was given for free", that is very common in all kind of games because even if your interest is not engaged in the result -Junior could not be the winner if ferret would win- you feel certain amount of anger looking how something is ruined. Amir is probably a perfectionist and perfectionist does not tolerate even alien mistakes. Any other interpretation of his words is too daring and even insulting. Fernando
