If this appeared in a tournament I played in I'd be annoyed at what would appear to me subjectively as match fixing. It happens in cricket and other sports, and if it happened here, its not fair for everyone.<br /><br /> -Peter PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459360717297142573.post-36616581045302113072011-11-14T17:06:17.300+11:002011-11-14T17:06:17.300+11:00Nowadays cheating does occur in Chess tournaments....Nowadays cheating does occur in Chess tournaments.

All this suspicion is inappropriate. People shouldn't accuse others of throwing a game just because they played a bad move, that's not fair. Chess players should feel free to play whatever moves they want over the chess board and shouldn't be judged for making mistakes.Nick Bearehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05308042500269576403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459360717297142573.post-18812229347040208392011-11-14T15:44:14.523+11:002011-11-14T15:44:14.523+11:00I still think it was intentional.

Mos looked pretty surprised when he was mated. As for playing 1.f3, 2.Ke2 the opening is genuine. Even though Mos is a good player he can miss simple things, he dropped a whole rook against me for free in rd 3 in same tournament.
