Adams could have been fair to the Junior team and agreed to a postponement. If he could not make the postponed game then it is on him not the Junior team to default. Junior was ready to play. He simply was given a way to cheat Junior out of it's place in the tournament and took it. Whether it was with G Kasparov's blessing or not does not matter to me. Adams squirmed out of the match with Juior on a technicality which was invented for him on the spur of the moment. Jim Walker
