Maybe Mr. Williams has manners?

Now WHO started this?

Action forces reaction.

Kasparov was attacked.

May he please defend himself?

Having had the pleasure to meet Mister Williams and Kasparov and talk about
similar things AND being in email with Hsu about the Paderborn blitz games
it's not so difficult for me to figure who is the telling the truth here.

Negotiations failed. Then Hsu thought it would be a good idea to wash one's
dirty linen in public putting pressure on Kasparov.

>And should be done, to show the true story... whatever that is...

Yes, a horrible way of doing business. And I can confirm Hsu making many
"belligerent" comments to me. Owen's story exactly matches my own experience
with Hsu. Owen's story fits.

I hate to say this in public but Kasparov doesn't deserve this.
