I'm asking for a statement of Ed in which denies that he or his company
had any hand in that ICC stopped broadcasting Khalifman-Leko match
right before GM vs Rebel match started. If he denies that, then i believe
Ed on his word. If he doesn't deny it nor reacts
then i assume it was a contractual thing with icc that took care that
during the broadcast of man vs machine challenge Rebel was the only
event that was getting broadcasted.

What's wrong with such a question? I was very pissed off that Khalifman-Leko
broadcast ended abruptly and that people got nuked from the icc server,
without giving an explanation other than that: "icc no longer broadcasts
Khalifman-Leko", though they did that for 4 other games without any
problems.

Your reaction on my question is completely insane.

Vincent
