Hello Frank,

Without wanting to take side or saying that next has happened,
i think the basic issue from human viewpoint is next:

if you get a beta version from a program S, it is NOT appreciated
to use tests from this program S for a program T you SUDDENLY operate at
a world championship. Especially considering you know a line where a
program S plays horrible, it is not very fair to use this knowledge
against a program S.

This i tell without wanting to get involved into any juridical
fight or courtcase, which for sure is gonna happen following the
seriousness of accusations i saw. A lawyer who is checking out this email
should also take into account that i don't claim to be responsible
for THIS email if anything is said that can help either side, as i
wrote this at 4 AM and i feel real sick now and i can't even remember
what i did a minute ago, so the above lines can be nonsense too.

But personally if i would have lost that game with Shredder, then
Marcus would not be alive now.
