First Bertil makes a *public* statement of reasonableness for Mr Schroeder to go speak to Enrique by private email to discuss Rebel/Tiger participation. In *private* the discussions are allegedly a no-no from Enrique and the two ChessBase programs manage to remain the sole competitors. The Diumvirate forgot that the discrepancy between the *public* face and the *private* reality was going to find its way rapido onto the computer chess news groups. Thus it looks even worse now than before they started off. One wonders how our two PR experts are going to fare when faced with the full glare of a professional news media when in Bahrain. >I have promised to give an update about my talks with Enrique the organizer of >the computer - Kramnik event.
