Go up one level in this thread


Rolf, you speak elegantly. But there was corruption in Russian Chess long before
there was any money to do it. We could point back to historical markers such as
Salo Flohr being sort of required to cancel his match with alekhine after he
took up residence in Russia, or perhaps the drawn outcome of botvinnik-Bronstein
world championship.
And in the rare event that i should ever be quaified to expend moral judgements
on others (eg. pope dies, buffy the vampire killer gets slain, etc. etc.) i
rather doubt that the mortal sin of greed would be on the top of my s***t list
as applied to those rich fat cat chess programmers. Perhaps I could think of
just a couple of other failings which come first.
remember to rtfm and never buy software ending in ".0"---your friend marc
