I think, considering the Kramnik event, that is quite understandable behaviour of a commercial company. Another example is the 95 WMCCC in Paderborn. Fritz won the former WCCC in Honkong and therefore Quest was playing in Paderborn. One time it happended in the opposite direction. After the dutch open 01 where the official name was Fritz, they renamed it on their side into Quest, after Fritz became third. But that could be an oversight from the editor :-) Gerd
