I remember Anand giving a simul in Aegon. I forgot year whether it was
1997 or 1996 i can't remember. What i very well remember is how stupid
Marc Uniacke was busy. In a dead drawn rook endgame he played on and on
and on...

It was a big shock for me to realize in 1997 how the 'big commercial programs'
were operated by persons who knew very little from chess technical viewpoint,
such as behaving towards a supergm when having a dead drawn rook endgame.

Of course they don't blunder there when having plenty of time (which you
always have in a simul, with exception of dumbhead Alterman).

Best regards,
Vincent
