It could have been a “normal” meeting if not the question raised by the former World Champion Anatoly Karpov – “computer control”. He was afraid of other players cheating, using the Pocket PC, Pocket Fritz and mobile telephones, and accessing help from outside. The computer control has been established – all the players entering the playing area were later checked with metal detectors for their presence. And it was not only 1 time a day, but every time a player entered the playing area. You went to the toilet, come back several minutes later, checked again. Sometimes there were large queues where players had to stand. " </quote> just for everybody's information. J.
