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.*

_______________________________


I don't understand the logic of this protest. Can someone explain why just
because a chess program is stronger then humans in some aspects and situations
in chess, why this means the human should be awarded a win without winning the
game?
