We have played three games. The first two he won. So I lost points. Clear. But then in the third, BTW I had a clear win in a brilliant game, what else did you expect, I got a draw in the end. And then I told you what happened. You know I went into my profile then his. And there I could see how I lost and then gotr the 6 points for the draw. But he got 11 points. I don't know what it is but I know what I have seen. But - I also saw other things I couldn't understand. Perhaps this automatic is a bit lazy? Rolf
