That's not right.

He couldn't claim the old contract, as it is decided he has to pay back Fernando
$20 from that $50.

That's the full point Van der Sterren had to give away.
Van der Sterren hadn't the opportunity not to play the computer and suffer no
consequences for his score. That was in de initial contract.

When he qualified for the championships, these were the rules. When Sosonko said
no, these were the rules. When it was offered Fritz to play, the rules were
changed. Without consent.

I am very glad a lot people in the real world still have other principles about
a contract and changing it without consent from both than you.
Better remind not do business with you; you never know if you have an agreement
or not. "Well, hey, the ink is still wet. This suits me better. Take it or leave
it".

We call that a dictate, not a contract.

It's all about decency. That's the point.
