I deleted a post that questioned Amir's motives for skipping the round. I've seen a lot of people being angry at Amir, and a few that are marginal, but I've only seen the one post that was clearly over the line. Which is not to say that I think any of these people are right. I think that people who think this has to do with some problem with Amir's integrity are wrong. Anyone who thinks that otherwise reasonable people don't get angry at chess tournaments obviously doesn't attend them. bruce
