I don't think that Fernando has lost his credibility but that he deserves at
least some credit for trying to get a GM of that calibre to play a PC in an
exhibition match. He probably announced this a bit prematurely and I'm sorry for
Bruce because he might be affected by the outcome of this in a negative way.

But we might still see matches Morovic vs. program xyz (!= Ferret) and hopefully
also GM xyz vs. Ferret. In this best of all worlds, we would get 2 instead of 1
matches, a clear win-win scenario for everybody. Let's hope that there will be a
happy end for all involved ..
