Nowadays you can't really tell who is who (a GM or a top program) when playing a tactical game... So, why did they get disqualified? It was not just one Russian player, but two: Shaposnikov and Popov. What matters is also the fact both had had ELOs of over 2700 on the Fritz server _before_ the tourney. Djordje
