>I never suggested that Peter move his machine. I suggested that other >members of his team move the machine, since they were present in the >tournament hall. And we did it. And I would have done it for any other member if he would have asked me in a polite way. I did not want to participate with CSTal in the blitz tournament. CSTal was the slowest program in the tournament. It is NOT a good idea to play with the slowest program in a blitz tournament. It was Chris decision. He asked Peter to do it, because he wanted to go eating. Because you made your "protest" we were forced to stay in the room and help Peter. Nothing against this. I have told you once and can tell you again: I don't take this personal. I accept your excuse or nice words IN the tournament hall after the blitz when you said: sorry, it was not personal. I accept this. But what I do not accept is the point of view: From my point of view computerchess is NOT something about carrying the machine through a room. I thought blitz is a faster time control then tournament-controls. I acceopt that the operator is in a much more sensible position. I don't accept to exclude persons because they are handicapped or old or whatever. Point. Nothing against you. Nothing against Bob. Only that I will never except a rule that throws somebody out because he is not able to carry his machine because he uis handicapped or something like this. This is a contest about computerchess, not about body-building !
