With "society" you gave the most important aspect. What is this if someone
murders a little kid to get 1 million Euro just if he is so stupid to understand
the difficulties of the ransom transfer? And what is this if an average student
like Jan Henrik Schön could be handled as the New Nobel Prize Laureate to whom
German institutions already offered the job of a President of a universitarian
institute??? I mean is this all impostring and fraud? And self-betrayal in the
latest instance? Is humility something completely unknown in a world of virtual
realities?

I think that Kramnik proved how outrageously wrong the claim of the ChessBase
team was! To even think bout it for a second that they could compete with the
likes of Kramnik.
