Yes - it looks like CSTal did NOT played for the draw Qe1 because of a strange bug... chris will find out later. Virtual had 0.00 in the main line and pb was off. I tried it at Paris with eg. genius5 at the hotel room later. Says also 0.00. So maybe after this nice sac-turn-arround cstal HAD the chance to make a draw against virtual but did not used this because of a silly bug !! Grrrrr !!! Still I don't believe the protest of Amir/Stefan/Bruce was ok. Maybe they did not understand the position deep enough or whatever. programs like virtual find the win easily ! And did it in the repetition of the game. It was a funny thing to see a crowd of people inclusice ICCA board standing arround a chess board where 2 pc's fought a game with K + P vs. K !! BTW: when this happened the 3 protesters made themselves very rare !! WHY ?? No interest in the result of the protest at all ? Hello. I am back from Paris. It is nearly 5h in the morning. I stand up in Paris at 6h30. Now it is monday, 22.5 hours later. I have to sleep now. Otherwise I will die. Give me a chance to sleep, please... Till later.
