[computer-go] MoGo

[Chrilly]

One further important rule. One should never be ironic in interviews. The ironie is almost always lost.
E.g. when we played against Adams the default question was "why do you not play against Kasparov". I could not stand this question anymore and in a press conference shortly before the match I said "Because Adams is the much stronger opponent". I got bad comments on this sentence..
Another rule is: Most journalists are writing almost all of the time about themselves and not about the topic at hand. If one is interested in a story, the easiest thing to get one is to invite the journalist and to cook for them. They can than write how they liked the eating. Which is already a story about themselves.

  Thank you Don.
  I did not know that, I am not used to :-).

  Then I'll stop worrying for these kind of things and stop trying to give back the truth :).

  Bye,
  Sylvain

    It doesn't surprise me.  It's common to get misquoted.   One thing that
    is
    even more common - at some point you are likely to make a quote that
    will
    live forever (and it can even be a misquote.)    Someone will quote it, 
    they will latch onto it, and others will "cut and paste" from the first
    author who quoted (or misquoted) you!
