The Small Ball Controversy

In today’s game TDB used an underweight & undersized ball during play while the rest of the players used regulation size and weight, thus making his close win totally unfair.  This ball should never be used again in GM Play!

This case is analogous to the “Stars and Stripes” sail boat and the America’s Cup.  The trophy was stirpped from the U.S. much like TDB’s win may have been.

The alleged “small” ball used by TDB this date was in actuality a ball used for many years in officially sanctioned GM play.  It is thus an officially sanctioned GM ball.  Thus my ball “was as big as your ball!”
