PS Two years ago I just happened to beat Mr Anand in a simul he gave on ICC. I am not quite sure he was as friendly as you describe him.

Last time I checked the statement below:

"More about chess computer and Vishy aftwer a while..."

Sounds like a updated status report to me. I for one am interested in what his report will have to say about Computer Chess.
"Good decisions come from experience, and experience comes from bad decisions."

I don't know what Anand said, but if I remember correctly Mr. Lacrosse was accussed of cheating, using computer help during the game. He was crucified in chess forums across the net.

Mig Greengard's comment : (see here, Mig was official commentator on ICC for this event) :
"To me it was just a very accurate game that became technical early and betrayed no indicators of inhuman play. That he played the technical phase much better than Anand is obviously remarkable, but that's what simul play is all about. Kudos!"
Susan Polgar's comment (see here) :
"Congratulations Marc! Well done! And thank you for helping out a good cause! Best wishes, Susan Polgar"

ICC cheating detection software is one of the best ones and catches cheaters everyday.They did not find anything suspicious. Moreover when you look at the game there were quite a few dubious moves of mine, including a forced win that most programs could find in seconds ...

It's not my fault if Mr Anand was not at his best in this game of which I am still very proud. No champion can win every single simultaneous game he plays. And here it was a simul in its most difficult form : a time-controlled one. I had 90 minutes for the game whereas Mr Anand had the same time for 19 games ...

I do not see how and where I was crucified. There was just a little noise by a few jealous guys without any kind of proof.

The word crucified is too radical, sorry for the reference. The problem is people jump too fast in the wagon of computer cheating, even the player Raffael from playchess is accused of it.

From what i read some people in forums told your moves were rybkas, (even in their forum some persons claim it). But obviously it was not the majority so again I apologize for choosing the wrong wording.
