Yes i totaly agree with you!!! But that was not my point.
Both sides signed a conract in witch they agreed to certain terms. One of this
is that Kramnik gets the final Engine tree month in advance. Giving him a false
Engine is breaking a contract. Very abstract thinking, but logic. So, it is
unfair to give the false Engine because of that contract.

In fact i had not signed that contract but Chessbase, Franz Morsch or Amir Ban
saw the oportunities they may have of it. Thats all.
