Why do you believe Adams without any doubt, when he is saying
'I played my best chess'?? What should he say else? This is a
marketing world, why should he admit how bad and pro-computer
he played actually?
I really wonder how much people completely lack sense of logic
after 6 little games in which Adams was crushed, but not because he
played like a superstrong GM...
(BTW,if one likes conspiracies he would perhaps suppose, Adams might
have been paid for always playing 1.e4 and 1...e5 ;-))
