Spoken by great men:"Give me 20 divisions of American soldiers and I will breach Europe. Give me 15 consisting of Englishmen and I will advance to the borders of Berlin. Give me two divisions of those marvellous fighting Boers and I will remove Germany from the face of the earth." - Field Marshal Bernard L. Montgomery, Commander of the Allied Forces during WW2.

"The Americans fight for a free world, the English mostly for honour, glory and medals, the French and Canadians decide too late that they have to participate. The Italians are too scared to fight, the Russians have no choice. The Germans for their Fatherland. The Boers? Those sons of Bitches fight for the hell of it." American General, George 'Guts and Glory' Patton.

Hi Norrbu, Thank you and the same to you.
Great work

Hi James! Wow, that WAS mad!! From my understanding, Hou Yifan was sort of protesting with this game as she was playing so many women, but the pairings were all coming from a machine. I can understand her feelings too, but to do it in this way and create a hullabaloo? LOL Thank you for sharing!
