Hey Djordje,

The reason why I felt it was the right thing to do, is purely financial. Since
the organizers insisted that anyone who wouldn't play Fritz, would have their
prize money reduced, the decision was correct. There's always the question of
moral legitimacy, but that was suspended by the Dutch Chess Federation before
the event started.

Sincerely,
Mogens
