Thorsten, what are you doing all day long? Are you not even aware of? Look into
your own comments on the progress of the final round in Paderborn. It was a
reveiling confession about your own emotions about the expected or feared
result. I wished that you could take all that with more objectivity. Then with
your experience you were a really good expert. Also didn't you notice your own
insinuating of some stuff not so koscher?

Fact is that Stefan already in Maastricht let JUNIOR have it's spin, when the
planned show event against Kasparov already was near. Yesterday's lost is
something that no linger counted because Fritz already was through. I still ask
if there isn't a sort of button the operator could secretely push for such
decisions, "go for the kill", "now only seek a draw by all means even if there
might be a win" etc.? Because it's strange. There was a period when both, YACE
and SHREDDER repeated motifs and moves and then suddenly after the end in the
FRITZ game they went into a different mode. Suddenly Yace took c2 and the whole
game went into a different essence.

I was always sure that Stefan had such features because SHREDDER was always
worse the moment other operators did their work. This is not by chance if it
happens 4 or 5 times in a row. These reflections have nothing to do with
conspiracy fairy tales!
