I was so near to death !!! uff. :-))) Christophe, Ulf looked so down. And I was in such a sad situation. I wanted Tiger to win, but not to hurt Ulf and his baby. As I have heard the 24 machines and the garbage-time that is needed to coordinate them was the reason for the senseless moves. If Ulf would have had ONE machine with e.g. Fritz he would maybe not have made these weaker moves. I asked all the other programmers what to do. I tried to make it as fair as possible. I am lucky that I am still alive !! Puh ! :-)) >I felt so ridiculous and angry in Paris that I HAD to make some real >progress.
