In my posting after his not very telling explanation why he overruled 4...g5 so quickly having Fruit play it's second best choice instead, I did not use any offensive wording. It was a purely "chessic" reply, continued by Uri Blass the same style, being on topic with analytical remarks. I expect that a grandmaster would at least give some thoughts or more details about his estimation of the position after 4...g5?, in other words chess content, not just blah. For example, it would have been interesting if he had seen that 8.Kf2 will be more or less forced, or if he just trusted an intuitive estimation that g5 was bad, immediatly. http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?464564 My approach is, if a master has to expect he will be forced to 8.Kf2, he cannot instantly trash 4...g5. Yes he can trash it, but not instantly. Some more comments about this: http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?464655 So, here wasn't argueing nor insults, here was just chess. Maybe it was a clever advertisement for chess software: You get advice at master level from your chess program much easier than from a real grandmaster! :-) Yours truly Paul J. Sacral
