Hi Vincent, >First of all > a) it was not a dead draw yes, I have looked over the game - it was not dead draw, but why not let your engine win it without killing him because of time troubles ? Were you frightened that Diep will show again its weakness in endgames ? > b) i had warned him You haven't according to Bas... And I believe Bas more. He didn't even know that he can't adjust the clock during game in winboard. Why not let him restart winboard ? If that is the only way to adjust the clock ? There is NOWHERE a description HOW the clock must be adjusted - if it is needed to do by restart so let him do - what can you loose ? > c) he was stubborn There was only one stubborn person around. Everybody is wrong here except you ? Have you ever thought about the fact why ALWAYS you are in center of such problems during tourneys ? > d) when it was too late he started realizing and begged like a baby There is only one baby... > e) after the game Bas acted very sportmanship by giving a hand Yes, he is sportsman.. > f) you guys are completely idiotic to assume things without being > there. I have heared enough from Tony, Gian-Carlo and Bas... Nobody support your version of the story... Just accept the simple fact that YOU did not act as a sportsman. > g) at tournament levels i nearly always lost more operator time > than my opponents, with exception of the last so many moves when > in time trouble. That's what happened here too. That is your problem if you can't sit at your place... Nobody knows how often YOU change your clock, most games you enter so much commands in your keyboard. > h) If one time you lose > 10 minutes with a score of -3.xx or whatever, me being a piece up > or whatever, why still remember it, i would already have resigned > the game in disgust. There was no -3.xx score at that point in our game... just Quark plays unsound - and you also did not act as a sportsman, I remember that I was very often during that game at the table and that I was sitting around 5 minutes at the board awaiting your move unless I see that my clock is running... No comment from you, nothing... and for a long time you was also in fear that Diep would not find the way - I remember well. Greets, Thomas
