Poor Ernst Walet, last minute operator, didn't know what to do. For all the readers: I saw how Diep was operated and this is far from simple. Vincent had to play a match in the afternoon and asked Ernst to be the Diep operator for two games. He gave him one paper with only a few lines on it 'how to operate Diep', that was it :-))). Even a Windows diehard would have to pass here, I am afraid! Diep responded by thinking for ONE WHOLE HOUR about a move against Gadget. Needless to say almost everybody hoped Gadget would win! And when Vincent would return, we would have told him 'It is going badly, you lost to Gadget'. Without telling the whole story of course :-))). Moral: Never leave the Dutch Open for some stupid KNSB match, 'cause your program will punish you immediately :-))) Jeroen
