And that is not throwing. Because the win isn't clear and easy.

In 1973? You are wrong. Please keep to get on with our pace, Uri and I have clarified it for hours already. And I wrote that I made a typo. (tztztztztz) >>Exception Kramnik to whom he lost a match.

You arguments are ridiculous, IMO. Dream on, excuse me I don't want to be responsible if you get peptic ulcer if I write you the whole truth. Excuse me. So you try to make a difference after a lost match when the loser sees himself NOT as a loser at all? Look, I was a chessplayer long enough but we're not that schizophrenic that we couldn't differentiate losing and winning. That you can't run to Mama after you lose and complain, so that then she says that you are the Greatest, that is simply part of the game Life if you grow up. Don't give us such a ridiculous input here as if chessplayers were nutcases. They have to fight enough prejudices yet. And a show event with a chessmaster is since the 19th century the event of the master and NOT one of the machine. Although you have a good point here because of course pecuniary interests would tell him to give away a few half points so that the advertising campaign has something to show also after the (show) event. Or do you expect them to pay for Waterloo? Try to get some practice in today's starving companies after Sept 11. :) Rolf Tueschen
