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. Ingo
