He already reported it before the match even had started. So, I as a psychologist see some wishful thinking in the actual version of the story. And BTW I find it also totally unwanted to praise Ivan Morovic for something every average GM does every day! As I said it's a mutual agreement, it's something very basic. Perhaps you didnt know it, but chess comes out of a very elevated, aristocratic, high sphere. Remember Nap. vs Mme _de_ Remusat... Chess has an inborn attitude of a Knight or an Emperor... A Dolphin. Not exactly only a little fish... (Perhaps you heard of the ethical triviality of salutating long before you get mated... not so a machine... a machine plays games of 300 moves) In a way a real chessplayer needs a long wellness bath, a spiritual re-birthing for his insulted soul, insulted by the stupifying eagerness of the machine... after having played a game of chess in front of an average operator who possibly looked as if he thought it all over on the board... <double sigh>
