GREG KENNEDY STRIKES OUT AGAIN

Or... we could only have Swiss tourneys with an
*even* number of rounds, so that everybody gets
the same number of Whites and Blacks. -- help bot

David Kane falsely claimed the rematch clause is no advantage to
the champion.


I said that it is not an advantage in the title defense itself. Even though
I am no great fan of the rematch clause, it is akin to the practice
of seeding the defeated champion in the Candidates cycle.

The point was that there is no way to *mathematically* compare
that advantage with an actual advantage in the match. I would
rather go on vacation to Hawaii than paint my kitchen, but it cannot
be characterized as a "mathematical" comparison.

I'm sure Parr is one of those with absolutely no understanding
of mathematics. And he is all too willing to ramble on about
topics which he does not understand.
