If all the thread is about the moreal of Greenpeace, when I am interested in
Chess, why I should take are of your useless comments.

I have insisted of discussing about the games and you have only avoid to debate
the point of view of chess.

Conclusion: You are not able to detect if the games was chess or checkers or
perhaps, ludo. I saw where Diep failed but you are only focus on attacking the
chess author and not to discuss about the game.
