Yes
They wanted also not to allow Deep Junior to play against Rebel in these
conditions and they told me it is a logical decision because we cannot be sure
that kasparov is not playing.

I trust Amir that he is not cheating but they seem not to believe people.
I and the man who is responsible for the hardware had no problem with remote
computers so they decided to allow Junior to play on p500X4 in the first round.

Now Junior played against shredder4 with a slower hardware so the hardware was
not the same and it seems to be against the stupid rules of the league so the
team of shredder4 can ask for a win in this game if I understand the rules.

The rules are not clear.

Dan kaspy told me in the day of the first round that the book and everything
must be the same(this is the way he understood the rule that the hardware and
the software must be the same for all the league).

I protested and said that it is not fair because Ed prepared a special book
against Junior and if this is the case then i do not know if he wants to play
but after it I understood that this was not what they meant and I can change the
book or the personality of Rebel.
