In these games by the time that tbs would have _been_ useful Diep was either in
a draw, or lost. How would tbs help in any of the situations BEFORE they can
take effect? Suddenly they are used in the middlegame?

Come on Vincent.. tbs would not have enabled you to win the event. If at most
they would have helped gain .5 points. That still leaves you in the same spot.

That is all I am trying to prove.. tbs would not have helped you win the event.
You lost the event due to Diep playing poorly in the middlegame.. not the
endgames... one step at a time...

Unless of course there were 32 man tbs in '99 that we all don't know about.
