Admittedly the game seems suspicious, and Kreiman is an unsavery
character. Nevertheless, I do not believe that the game was fixed.
Kreiman is rated about 100 points higher than De Guzman. Why should he
pay a weaker player to lose a game? Also, De Guzman was in contention
for the same prize as Kreiman, except that De Guzman was not eligible
to play in the US Championship. In addition, the game was in the style
of De Guzman. The players who judged this game and deemed it fixed
have never played De Guzman. Those who have played him agree that this
was a typical De Guzman game. This is the way he normally plays.
