Can you see how desperate the claim you are making is, just reaching for any
excuse.  It's an insult to Huebner to claim that he wasn't taking the match
seriously that he wasn't putting forth full effort.  Tea leaves is exactly what
you are doing the result is the actual proof.  What you do is make wild
unsubstantiated claims, I.E huebner wasn't trying, all of the players in the
recent tournament with Tiger they just were all taking it easy on poor tiger.
You can't argue with the actual result.  Unless you are reading tea leaves, my
