But Huebner should be of the kind who is strong enough to make such statements.
I am also qualified enough, not as a chess GM, but psychologically. What I saw,
read about the event, that is enough to allow me to make conclusions. Also you
must take the show with Kramnik in Bahrain. Then you have enough evidence for
intentional weak play. Weak play does not mean throwing games of course, which
is what the kids directly translated.

You can download the given positions by Huebner at the given address above! No
need to know German.
