That's more than a bit inaccurate interpretation of the original message and guilty of equal amounts of biased nonsense. There was nothing suspect with the match from an objective viewpoint, so I see nothing wrong with applying the term "sour grapes" to the responses by various persons. And questioning objectivity in this case doesn't constitute an insult. This doesn't imply that the testing is optimal, but the assumption of identical testing conditions for the matches played on the machines in question. Whether the CPU-unrelated settings are identical on the machines used by the SSDF is an interesting question. And vastly more important than one insignificant match and various types of hindsight. Not to mention silly bickering from both sides of the fench without substance. Regards, Mogens
