After reading Adam's "rambling explanation of this atrocity": http://www.chesscenter.com/twic/adams.html I have to say that I think you are being _far_ to harsh on Adams. 1) Adams did not "calim a win"; MIG forfeited Deep Junior 2) This was all in acordance with the match rules, in fact they went beyond what the match rules specified before declaring the forfeit. That Adams was in a lost position is irrelevant. Adam's was within his rights to want to play on, and Deep Junior was not able to continue. Some players might decide that in such a situation they would resign the game. Others would not. That does not in any way make them a "shameful person". -Robin
