This is worse than yellow press.
The game was played by a beta tester of Zappa (not by Anthony, not by Arturo)
and it was played at the crappy Playchess server with a buggy GUI (the only
one allowed there). The buggy GUI cannot play on after move 256.
Moreover it was not 'Argentinia' who won, but an Argentinian player.
All those super generalizations are somehow mad...

P.S. the crappy Playchess server is so crappy that a player in a lost position
still can offer a draw or an abort at each move! popping up a message box the
winning player has to close on its _own_ time!!
I told them already a year ago that this is the worst feature I have ever seen
on a chess server, but still it is not fixed...
