No, I'm saying "but IF most of that is gone in today's version, then future Rybkas should be allowed to participate".hyatt wrote:"OK, so he copied Crafty, and then copied Fruit, but most of that is gone in today's version (whether or not this is true is not yet clear) and so "everything is OK."
Sure, take back his trophies, and rewrite history, I don't think it really matters, what is relevant is the future (future participation of Rybka in tourneys, otherwise this is clearly a case of "we can't beat him on the board, so we just exclude him from the tourney").hyatt wrote:"OK, he killed someone 5 years ago, but today he is a model citizen, so you should not prosecute him for that old transgression?"
