One plays a major world championship, and then most miss the finals? It really happened, they all went to supper. Only a small group remained in the tournament hall that evening to see the tie between Ferret and Shredder. Then after a long and tough struggle when we got in the restaurant i got to sit at a table and was so stupid to sit near to Amir Ban's team. Amir after looking the a4-paper (without stopping to eat) where the Shredder-Ferret game was printed at, then after a few words in Hebrew with his other teammembers, accused Bruce having made a deal giving away the title to Stefan, although if he and his team didn't go for supper then they would have seen that it was everything except that. I wonder whether Amir wishes to repeat that accusation in this forum, because i didn't only found it very rude and obviously wrong, i also found it very insulting and showing from very bad manners. Secondly Amir Ban is always the one who tells me: "winner is always right", but seemingly his own rule only gets followed by him if he is the winner. Greetings, Vincent
