If I were in Adams shoes, I would probably have done the same thing. So what? As Shakespeare said (I quote from memory, sorry) "If we were treated as we deserved to be, who could avoid being whipped?". I mean, I am not a model role and I don't claim to be one. I maintain what I said. The sportman (and a competition chessplayer is one) who wants to win a match without playing it is a jerk. In Adams' case this is specially clear because, due to *his* *own* connection problems, the match was delayed two hours. Note the subtle point: he was not forfeited. When Junior runs into the same problems, he claims forfeit. To be fair to the truth I don't believe he is the only jerk in the whole story.
