I would be peeved too if a series/game was >cut off with no explanation and then another game is put in front of me Sure you might be peeved, but would you come straight to CCC and rudely accuse Ed of cutting off the Leko-Khalifman game. How would Ed have done that anyway. Would you at the same time insult Rebel's opponent as "unknown small GM". Vincent was, yet again, extremely rude and arrogant. As a chess programmer and player I would have expected at least some lateral thinking as to why the Leko-Khalifman game was cut off. Just my opinion, Tina Long
