Anti-cheating: the fifteen minute debate continues

Anti-cheating: the fifteen minute debate continues
29.06.2011 – Our recent reply to stern criticism leveled against us in the Dutch magazine New in Chess resulted, unsurprisingly, in a large number of letters from our readers, many quite effusive. But we decided not to publish any until at least one turned up supporting the views of our NiC critic. Six weeks went by until it at last came, authored by the critic himself. Now we can publish your letters.

The ChessBase Opening Encyclopaedia 2011 features the complete coverage of all opening sectors, offering an optimal start for opening training. Many well-known specialists have made contributions in their field of expertise, such as Anand, Avrukh, Krasenkow, Kritz, Kuzmin, Marin, Moskalenko, Postny, Ribli, Rogozenko and Stohl. The DVD contains a separate directory with 580 special theory databases from the CBMs. For each of 500 opening sectors according to ECO standard there is at least one opening survey, so that the database is the ideal tool for building up a complete opening repertoire. More... article, which is once again unsigned, the author begins by scolding us for the almost complete reproduction of two columns in the magazine. He writes: "With a slight frown we couldn't remember having given permission for that, but then quickly realised that we were in the world of copy and paste." Copy and paste indeed – New in Chess comes on very thin slices of tree, so we had to scan and OCR the blooming thing. Give us at least credit for that – even if reproducing most of the piece did cause our critic the inconvenience of not being able to say we quoted him incompletely or out of context.

This time, however, he will have no occasion to frown. We have gone through the new article a couple of times, but we could not find anything new or substantial. We even consulted a very wise GM advisor and colleague, who confirmed that the author "hasn't added anything to the discussion and has simply repeated his earlier assertions without providing any extra arguments to support his views."

Our critic does restate one remarkable opinion: "Mr. Friedel rightly remembers that for some time German television stopped broadcasting cycling altogether because of its criminal image. Today doping tests are stricter than ever and racers are monitored in and out of competition, but there is widespread cynicism that today's champions are mainly 'clean' because their doping methods have become even more sophisticated. We wouldn't like to see our champions in that category." That is exactly our point – except that we believe that the problem cannot be addressed by ignoring it. We either do something or they end up in exactly the same category.

Giant OCR 2 Road Bike Wins Second In The Golden Olympics | 21 ...

This is a picture of me and my Giant OCR 2 Road bike. It is the first Road/Racing Bike I have really ever ridden. I got in in early September of 2006 and raced in the Golden Olympics on September 23rd and 24th. I was able to pick up a second place medal in the 10K TT, and the 20K Road Race, as well as a 3rd Place in the 5K TT. Not bad for a pure amateur.  The races were held in Grovania, Georgia.
