Jeroen,

I must admit that you have a very balanced view about this event :-).
Seriously. However, I think that I could come up with some additional arguments
shoring up my position (oh, I am not blaming only one side, I do go along that
the KNSB made some very strange decisions...)

About the game you quoted, are you sure that Jansa was not Bosboom and that
White was not Fritz 2?
