Is it because: a. he wants to have a go at the large prize fund; b. he wants to show that he is against computers taking part in the National Championship; c. he wants to hurt some people, most notably the completely innocent Fritz author and his team. If a) he is hypocritical; if b) he should have stated his opinion at the time v.d. Sterren did -- with more efficiency, probably preventing Fritz from starting playing; if c) his moral and human standards are questionable. *** Djordje
