I am not sure about what exactly you talk. WCCC is a different tournament and not automatic tournament. You can say that hardware crash mean technical loss for me but these were not the rule of WCCC. You can also say that I needed to play 120/60+30 under some interface that supports it(arena or Fritz) but this was not the rule and they let me to play at different time control under winboard when I tell before the game what I do. > >If the tournament direction would have been cold blooded, they would have banned >you from the world champs. For what reason? I did not plan to go out of the tournament because of some decision that I do not like and the discussion about the conditions that I play was before the first round. For the first round it could change nothing because I lost anyway and if they told me that I need to tell winboard 2 hours/60 moves and later to adjust it to 30 minutes for all the game it could change nothing about the first round and nothing later because for later rounds I could care to play under these conditions(practically later I told winboard 2:30 for all the game when the engine translated it to 2 hours/60 moves+30 minutes for all the game).
