Well, that's what makes us human. The ability to seige credit and abandon defeat. Defeat has to be explained and if the excuses aren't good enough most people will know. I don't think anyone (including me off course) knows the amount of preparation needed to play against a machine and therefore there must be valid excuses to be made. As for rooting against the machine. I believe that the Adams-DJ match proved otherwise. Amir Ban was almost proclaimed saint at face-value. Best wishes... Mogens
