I think the reason was that it is very difficult to tell what's an upgrade and what’s a new version. The fact that you and Fritz 6 operator ignore the rules creates bad atmosphere during the games. Instead of enjoying computer chess people are arguing constantly. I think you and others just have to respect the rules. Saying that Rami Tal is not interest in computer chess but just wants to win is twisting the truth. Actually he demanded that you will play by the rules like all the others. Your actions caused Tal Haimovich to feel cheated. Why shouldn’t he get a win? He played by the rules while you ignored the rules. Best regards Shanti
