Sarah is an excellent asset to the Computer Chess World. I would hate to see unfounded critisism drive her away from providing the excellent data, information and help that she is so renowned for. The actual games in blitz tournaments mean little (when moves are made in a very few seconds) and certainly arn't worthy of analysis except possibly to see if "learning" has played any part in the result. If there is doubt about the legitimacy of results, then publishing the games could also be a "slight of hand" (trick). The results of Sarah's tournaments are extremely interesting, and I was happy to see the votes of support she got from others in this thread. Tina Long
