But you are a scientist, you have an open mind, and you are not full of crappy money greed! Of course - you also don't present such a chess talent. These guys know whom they bought. Kasparov is perhaps the most greedy chessplayer on the tour. And I won't deny that Karpov is in principal not very different. If I told you where he had his money in the seventies, you would e astonished. In the times of the Iron Curtain. It came up through a little crime in Germany. Also in the CC shows Karpov made the same deals right from the beginning. But let there be no mistake. THey all didn't take these shows for serious. So for them it was easy cash. Who wanted to blame them? Would we renounce? Ok. Minus some. In a post to "Cohonas" I tried to analyse the situation in such a show deal or gamble. It would really help, Bob, if you could add a few comments about the specific difficulties of human GM against comp. If they try anti-comp, that means big preps and ridiculous self-esteem and reactions in the peer group. That is why only average freaks are so eager at anti-comp. And please do not always repeat that anti-comp is over since 10 years. Not! Anti-comp has not yet begun! Rolf Tueschen
