Again there is a big question is what an upgrade is. Actually you can wrap any new major version as an update. . . . > >Do you mean that the second part (just wants to win) is twisting the truth or >also the first part (is not interested in computer chess) > >About the second part: >My experience with him is that he does every legal thing in order to win. >If someone got the impression that I say that he did something illegal then I >apologize. > >Some facts: > >Rami Tal demanded that I will play by the rules only before the game against >shredder. >He did not do it when he knew that I used the upgrade in the first time. > You assume he knew that you were using an upgrade before the game with Shredder.

Will you allow a player to play in the league through a cellular phone? > >Rami Tal also voted against computers in the league and this give me the >impression that he does not interested in computer chess. > Since I talked with him about that few times I know he has reasons for that (I agree with some of his reasons). . . . >He prefered to take advantage of operator errors instead of letting the operator >to take back a move and play a real comp-comp games. > As a captain of a team I'm not sure what would I do. anyway you can argue what should you do in case of an error. When do you correct an error? after 1 move , two moves, after ten moves atc. By the way the rules declares that the position on the board and clock are the game reference. What about the clocks? Why should a computer have better chances just because his operator is faster? We can just let the computer clocks decide (There is some logic in doing so). Best regards, Shanti
