So, why is he such an evil person and why is defending his position not understandable? What did Bosboom do that was so horrible? Did he kill someone? Did he change the outcome of the tournament? Did he resign to Fritz in order to give Fritz a better chance at winning the tournament (similar to how some Russian GMs resigned to certain other Russian GMs in order to give them a better chance to win certain tournaments in the 50s)? The point is that he did not do anything EXTREMELY horrible. What he did is thumb his nose at the association and he did it by following their own rules. Big deal. There are a lot of examples of GMs behaving worse than this. If you can explain your reasoning as to what he did that was so wrong and why it was wrong, I will be glad to read it. Otherwise, I just cannot understand your position. KarinsDad :)
