http://www.nkschaken.nl/schaken/verslag/protesttiviakov15mei.htm Translated from Dutch by me. Protest of Sergei Tiviakov 15 mei 2000 By: Sergei Tiviakov(source: Royal Dutch Chess Federation) Protest of Sergey Tiviakov against the handling of Frans Morsch in corporation with Fritz SSS* (Frans Morsch) I did everything to win this game and also reached also a completely won position (evaluation -+). The operator should not play further with a evaluation of -2 (equal to two pawns) on time. In this situation the computer is not equal to a human player and has a huge advantage. The operator has to give up at respect for the human player. What is the meaning of corporation of Fritz at this tournament? The ranklist or receiving experience to enhance the program. What is the meaning of the operator? The operator who showed much respect to Dimitry Reinderman by accepting the draw in an very unclear position with a lot of pawns on g4 and h5. Also against Piket played the operator not further in an equal position. So the operator showed a lot of respect to other GM's, and why not for me. In the rules and regulations stands that also with an equal finish in final standings the computer is excepted for a tie break (30 minutes a game). This rule is accepted because of the computer advantage the computer has against a human. Also the draw offer when I had 2 minutes on the clock, was unusual, because of that I lost my concentration and blundered directly and gave away the victory. If I wanted draw I could always claim it. I ask the commision of Beroep to change the score to 0-1.
