If the same cold decision taking would have been done in world champs 2004, you
would have scored a lot less points in world champs 2004.

First few games you already caused big upsets and chaos.

Don't you remember that?

If the tournament direction would have been cold blooded, they would have banned
you from the world champs.

Did you forget that?

The interface is irrelevant here. He reported that he took the draw to 64.

So he accepted the draw offer from crafty.

That's all there is.

Nothing else.

What happened then is that the tournament director was that the icc server
simply didn't have the feature to recognize that the draw was accepted and 10
minutes later said it was a forfeit.

What is even more wrong, is the way in which the tournament director behaves
then. Instead of asking the players meeting, he dictatorial decides what happens
here.
