If I remember Correctly, Pascal Tang was operating at this time of the
game.
I was still angry with the previous games, when Virtual Chess played a
Benoni to Shredder. It did not have the benoni in its tournament book,
so something
was wrong! Then after the game against Tal, Pascal discovered that the
shortcut
used to launch Virtual Chess (using shortcuts was not a smart move
anyway) pointed to a demo version, with a demo
book. The machine had been used as a demo machine for thursday's  party,
which I was not aware of before the games against Shredder and Tal, and
a demo
exe file left on the disk, with the shortcut changed... As you might
understand,
this did not make me feel very happy...I also could have killed
somebody...
