I can only say that the conditions were unfair in both games.

In game 2(the first game) the conditions were unfair for Junior
and in game 3 the conditions were unfair for xie.

I do not understand the reason that xie did not agree to use phone for the game.

I also do not understand what is the reason that the kasparov site does not tell
us the pgn of the game that xie won when Junior had no book.
