Well of course the GM is probably *bribing* the second arbiter that is watching him. You are of course aware of his existance since he's mentioned on the rebel page about the event, which you carefully checked before making any allogations against the event. From Rebel.nl: To ensure fair play the arbiter is send the Rebel version before the game is started and the arbiter will check all moves played by Rebel. Another (second) arbiter is installed at the place of the grandmaster, the normal rules apply. I wish somebody would teach these rude GM's a lesson in how to behave in a sportsmanlike manner. My program played a friend in 4 games, lost all of them, but we had the best time, that is what computer-chess is all about :) http://ds.onyx.nu/man-vs-machine/ - Christian
