I believe he bases his opinion not on absolute numbers and results but exclusively on playing style and positional understanding and he loves the romantic chess style (old gambit openings etc) which implies that he does not care if your kid wins in the end by transforming the position like Petrosjan into an endgame with a slight advantage and wait for Nalimov to do the finish :) He is a big fan of De Koenig´s programs for example. Nevertheless he did a "hatchet job" versus The King, so I don´t think that his article is intentionally biased. You guys are upset about nothing... -- Peter >I didn't like his past statements (false) about Aegon. I didn't like his >decision about Bionic in the Dutch tournaments.
