I notice you didn't bother to confirm or deny any of the above.  Did Vincent
file a complaint about Ruffian at Leiden?  Did he complain about List at Graz?
It's well known that he suspected Ruffian to be a Shredder clone for quite a
long time.  Does he still cling to this belief?  Maybe all the strong amateur
programs are clones?  Yeah, that's it - a big conspiracy to keep Diep from
winning a world title.

Huh?  What does his age have to do with any of this?

I'm sure this has some meaning, but I can't parse it.
