Note that I did not make a personal attack in my first post and only wrote: "I think that it is unfair to use books that require the CB-GUI" I attacked a situation and not a person and I talked about something that happened and not about the future(I try to understand why you get so angry about it and maybe you understood that what I say is equivalent to claiming that the author of zappa cheated by doing it and of course not me and nobody else meant to claim it). Unfair does not mean illegal by the rules but against justice and the problem is not only with zappa of this tournament(In my original post I did not mention that the problem is not only with zappa and I did not mention that it is not something personal against the author and I did not explain that the problem is not that the book is not original and maybe it was a mistake). Maybe my choice of words was not the best and it was better to write: "I think that it is better that in the future, books that require the CB-GUI will not be allowed or be allowed only for one engine of chessbase". Note that I never used the chessbase gui in previous WCCC because I felt that it is unfair if the interface does decisions for the engine like claiming a draw and I noticed that it even has bugs in claiming draw and can claim a draw by repetition inspite of the fact that in the first case enpassent capture is legal. I know that some engines used the chessbase gui also in the WCCC in Israel and I think that it also was not correct to allow it. > >There was no option there. This is not correct. There was an option not to use the chessbase interface and not to use Erdogan's book. > >By the way, Zappa is winning the Tournament. The fact that Zappa is winning the tournament is not a surprise and I guessed it before the tournament. Uri
