But now I come pompously with my 40 years more of experience than you and tell you this: the only interesting question for the ICGA is IF they had their rules straight forward enough. What you are saying is a logical trap for justice. You want to imply that every defendent would act like you said with the video. But I tell you that justice has also to deal with people who say that they are guilty - but they are not! Justice must be a consistent body and not a ship of 'fools' [Fellini]. Did you ever reflect this?? The arguments of critics against ICGA are deeper than what you are assuming. You discuss a single bit of logic in the whole case. There are many other peices of logic. No matter what Fritz has done, the ICGA must have a fix for their rules. They play a poor game. But only for those who have eyes to watch it [read the posts from Hyatt in the archives]. Your solution is too obvious amd small. But if you were the suspect perhaps you suddenly understood what the real problem is. If they want your soul. And you want to be free. Did you also reflect if the same guidelines for Fritz R. were also applied to Frans M. or Amir Ban. I really want to see their faces when suddenly Jaap appears and announces that the expert now wants to look at their source code. I am ready to make some suspicions. Believe me. This is NOT the problem. But I agree that the clone problem is serious. But - we can't change our tournament practice only to prevent clones. We would lose our freedom & fun IMO. We shouldn't take these tournaments too seriously. 11 rounds Graz was a good holiday for some privileged artists without a serious job at universities or institutions. ;) [Now hell will break loose.] Rolf
