Worried about cheating? 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.
