If Mr. Nickel would hide behind his title, he wouldn't even answer you.
Looks more you are hiding behind books.
BTW you do completely ignore the aims of this test-match. It wasn't all about
crushing the engines, but exploring how the engines do with extended time per
move, and especially the B15 variation was as a set-up for special questions,
which have been answered in a very interesting way. Respect to Mr. Nickel! You
should see him more likely as a scientist than simply a player (like yourself).
