I think that the right decision was to play the match later when adams is not ill. I think that the fair decision is that if one player is ill then the game should be postponed. The human should also have a right to postpone the game to another day if the game does not start on time because of a communication problem because the delay does not change the level of the computer but may change the level of the human who is tired later.
