The Grand Masters were critizised with hard words in a few press articles,
and the honourability of them was put on the carpet. Why?. I don´t find
any wrong thing in the strategy. All of them wanted to advance to the
World Cup, and the logical way was what they did: Trying to beat the
apparently weakest player without taking great risks when they played
against the other G.M.´s. Is it dishonest?. For me, it is the natural
strategy, and if Gaston was not classified, it was, mainly, product of his
game in the tiebreaks, and not of the strategy of the G.M.´s.
