Shay and I were there, and would have been able to replace Rami for a while if we'd been told there's a problem. Who told him the time control can't be changed ? I see no reason. Operators are slow, they drink coffee, they talk on the phone. Why shouldn't the computer be told the real clock situation ? Junior won against Dr. Danny Barash. His Israeli rating is 2290. Amir
