Read my other posts in this thread. I have said several times that I DO NOT think that they would do such a thing. All I am saying is that it's not impossible, that no one knows for sure, and people are getting upset about something they don't even know to be true. >http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?240543 > >You wrote a full page rant in response to this, apparently without bothering to >read the 2nd paragraph. > >-Peter Hmm...maybe you could be more specific about what you are talking about. I see nothing in that paragraph regarding the issue of whether or not Quest was the best version of Fritz. What I do see is that Frans is (apparently) on record as saying that he always uses his best, and that Frans (apparently) didn't have the power to make the decisions he saw fit in the WCCC tournament. So if anything, that discredits Frans' statement that he always uses the best, since it's apparently someone else's call at Chessbase. As far as I know, we have no quotes from anyone at Chessbase regarding this matter, so no one knows. What is so hard about understanding that no one has hard evidence about what happened or didn't happen? I don't think there's a chance they used an inferior version, but I don't know that, so I'm not going to go around saying, "I know 100% for sure..." about something that I don't know 100% for sure about.
