Sandro, you are a great expert; you make a good book, but why don't you feel at least a little bit ashamed that SHREDDER got half a point only because its opponent gave up a dead drawn game??? Are you, as an expert, really happy with such unsportive and unfair actions? From a programmer of a 7 times winner I would expect that he would refuse to accept such presents. Would that have been really a disaster? Now the 8th title has the haut gout of a cheat. Sandro, I know that you know this. Why don't you tell this SMK instead of criticising those who say just the truth??? > >Sandro
