I have problems with Mike Valvo. Not exactly a problem solver... He's censoring me after we played a game at ICC in which i tried to come back after having a huge openings disadvantage. He found i should have resigned it earlier, but that's simply my style, see last national competition in the master class in which i was pawns down (without compensation) and still managed to win from several international and fide masters. After he finally managed to win his first game against me he censored me, as he happens to be one of those guys in the world that prefers the chesstiger style in which you start the game good but end up with a bad technique, which starts already in the middlegame. So it's kind of hard for me to talk to a tournament director who's censoring me. Vincent Diepeveen
