Well, at the worldchampionships there isn't equal hardware either. Would you say that is not a tournament either? I have a P200 MMX and a AMD K6-2 500. Sorry, but I have not enough money for 2 AMD's and so I couldn't play on equal hardware..... >I don't think that Tiger needs this kind of propaganda. Agree. It just won a tournament, that's all. >Why did you not mention the hardware difference here? It would have safed me >the trip to the Rebel web site. I am sorry that you read the message in a way I didn't want to. You see it as propaganda, which is absolutely not my intention at all. People who know me, know that I always want to report about tournaments as honest as possible. See f.e. my message in ChessBits about the Dutch Open. That was won by Quest (Fritz) and it fully deserved to win it. But on the other hand I absolutely do not agree with you that by playing on different hardware you cannot call it a tournament. Then we should not accept any WC as a tournament.... Regards, Jeroen And: Wishing you all the best in the new millennium
