That is a fine article! Bravo! Two little corrections. Tiviakov didn't lose! So how could he be a poor loser? Second. Not the computers insult the chessplayers but the operators, or in the case of the DB vs Kasparov event, the DB team insulted Kasparov. And how can you expect that people in computerchess know something about manners and etiquette if such big ones like Hsu Feng, B. Moreland or R. Hyatt give such bad examples. Even the father of the actual worldchampion SHREDDER wrote about Tiviakov as a joke; R. Hyatt calls Kasparov a jerk here in CCC almost daily. All these people are good experts but they don't come out of the chess scenery. They don't know how chess is played among GMs. Behind all this there is a hidden source. If you become familiar with the stars in a special field you are in danger of confusing the triviality of average behavior and the gigantic performance of heros. Because you can't understand that you can't devellop respect, you might misunderstand the ranking lists or the money, misunderstanding that all chessmasters have enormous talents way above average people. But what do I tell you? Have you an idea how we could explain style and all that to computerchess people, to people who are mainly interested in numbers and technical details? :)
