Don, I am not quite much into golfing or bowling, you might need to draw in some specialists to discuss with you on the matter, but what concerns the 10-0 wins over Rybka and Houdini, I think it is not only obvious, but very much obvious, obvious to an undisputable point, that a player that posts 10-0 wins over Rybka and Houdini would score perfectly in any of the tournaments Ivanov has been playing in as of late, something which he actually did not do.
But do I notice a sudden sharp increase of resentful attitude against me. What could it possibly be due to?
It's probably due to your imagination. I don't have any bad feelings at all towards you.
I should investigate the matter even with the inconclusive evidence at my disposal at the moment; however, in no way shall I state absolutely categorically that you are suddenly resentful of me before I have been through with my investigation, an approach that was used to the detriment of Borislav and fair play.
None of us are actually involved in this investigation, so whatever you and I say will have no impact on what happens.
They are not trying to figure out IF he did it, they know he did it. What is left to do is to figure out HOW he did it. But that does not have to stop them from imposing their ban.
You have a totally wrong idea if you think I have any bad feelings for you or anyone who agrees with you or does not agree with me. When the issue of Rybka came up I made a lot of enemies, even though I have no bad feelings about those who believe differently than I do. In that case I was attacked pretty aggressively, my motives were put into question and I was accused to wanting to assassinate all my opposition. And I took a lot of harsh criticism. But my style is not to leave things unsaid - although I probably would be better off if I sometimes did leave some things unsaid.
I would remind you that you said some things that I could take personally if I wanted to such as telling Graham that the only thing that mattered is what I say. And yet I did not take that as animosity. If you want to be able to dish it out, then you must also have a thick enough skin to take a little criticism yourself and not assume that someone is going after you.
HOW DO THEY KNOW HE CHEATED WHEN THEY DO NOT HAVE A CLUE AS TO HOW HE DID IT?
AND WHO ARE 'THEM'?
I am posting 2 recent wins of mine against Houdini 3 to add some substance to the discussion.
How did I cheat to perform some 1000 elo above my supposed real strength?
