That's just incredible, Amir.

In case these are the accepted facts, it is a very wrong decision.

It's easy to explain with an alternate scenario: once the operator of Jonny
realized by watching Shredder's screen that Shredder showed some bug that would
not allow it to deliver the mate, out of chivalry he decided to resign while his
program showed a draw score.

That's _extremely_ close to what actually happened according to you.

It's time to get rid of human operators in general IMHO - this might have been
state of the art 20 years ago - these days it just asks for trouble.

Congrats to Fritz!

Peter
