Actually, I have been very nice to Mr. Koepcke by never publishing the
game and I can no longer find the scoresheet. However, the game
started like this. I was Black:

1. d4 e5 2. dxe5 Nc6 3. Nf3 Qe7 4. Bf4 Qb4+ 5. Bd2 Qxb2 6. Nc3 Bb4 7.
Rb1 Qa3

A few moves later, I played Bxc3 and he played B on f1 captures B on
c3 which of course is illegal. He then said that he wanted me to give
him the move back. When I would not agree, he resigned.

Compare Bronstein's response to Dus Chotimirsky, if you want to see
how a sportsman behaves.


Ha! Mr. Koepcke did not give SS back his first-move
blunder, and what's sauce for the goose, is sauce for
the gander.

Before we attack Mr. Sloan for "poor sportsmanship"
in exercising his legal rights, we ought first to eliminate
cheating which is illegal according to agreement by
all, as spelled out in the rules of the game. An example
would be taking back moves (Gary Kasparov, caught on
videotape), distracting/annoying opponents, routinely
utilized as an effective answer by many players when
they are losing, etc.

First, clear out the worst muck; then work to improve
appearances, apply a coat of glossy shine, etc. (I can't
imagine a greater waste than applying wax over the top
of such awful muck, except, perhaps, putting expensive
lipstick on a pig.)
