Please try to behave politely if you can. :)

Your reasoning is wrong. Otherwise how would Murray shrug off. I told you how he
shrugged of. Perhaps you know nothing about newspapers but here it's clear that
Murray who shrugged off was from the side that distributed the news. There was
_no_ public accusation by Kasparov before that NY Times' article.

I begin to believe that you are a real dreamer. You continue to spread news
about a press conference after game two and you have no proof for such an event.
Just dreaming?

But then accusing me of "trolling", insulting what I talked about as "bogus".
This is a serious CCC or a theater for fantasies? _You_ can dream about all
things and can accuse others of trolling? Who put you into that position?

Please try to behave properly like a gentleman.

I promise you that I will believe you if you showed me the proof for the public
accusation of Kasparov _before_ that newspaper article. But if you can't prove
that then please keep quit and stop your dreaming.


It's telling when you declare the whole question as moot, when it's at the same
time the base for your "opinions" about Kasparov.

However it is clear. If the DB team went into the public with that story about
accusations Kasparov did never publish _before_, it's the DB team who opened
that psychowar which irritated Kasparov so much. Therefore he lost and therefore
the whole event has no meaning besides the well-known fact that a human can be
influenced by a psychowar and he then might play chess under his normal level.
Great news. Thanks to Hsu and his folks. "Murray" et al...

This is not a moot question. It's a scandal how you put the blame on Kasparov
and still insult him as a "jerk". On data fully imagined in your fantasies,
without any proof up to now!


We have a second scandal. You were the one who had always strongly objected the
idea alone of a possible cheating in 1997. You always argued that the idea alone
would be unbelievable. Interesting how you now twist your strategy and explained
that _of course_ there could have been always cheating, but that this couldn't
be prevented.

I repeat my point. If Kasparov had data (from his understanding of chess and
computerchess) that in the second game something wasn't kosher then he had the
right to speak about. He didn't do that in public at first. He asked for the
prints in private.  But then after the publication in the NY Times he could also
talk about in public. And what was his insult? Was a cheating possible or not?
Yes, you declared, of course it was _possible_. You don't think that it
happened, but it could have been possible. So, what is the scandal in Kasparov's
question for the prints. As we know now the scandal lies in the tragic of
Kasparov himself who seemed to be unaware of the fact that even the prints
couldn't prove a cheating with certainty. If he had known this he would probably
not asked for them.


Instead of discussing all this with patience and friendly manners you react as
if such a debate as such is a scandal. But you know from your chessic wisdom
that Kasparov is a bad loser. Excuse me if I must laugh. As if you have
understood what Kasparov had in mind during the second game.

On the contrary if computerchess people are attacked for their behavior, you
react like an oversensitive child. But about genial chessplayers you can spread
insults as if they were just some average idiots.


Let's try to debate here in CCC like gentlemen. Please.

Also in the genuine interest of computerchess. Please, show some respect for the
genius among the chessplayers!
