I do not agree.
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.
