=Complaints=
Excerpt from [[Tony Marsland|Tony Marsland's]] report <ref>[[Tony Marsland]] ('''1986'''). ''The 6th World Microcomputer-Chess Championship''. [[ICGA Journal#9_4|ICCA Journal, Vol. 9, No. 4]]</ref> :
Despite last minute clarifications on the entry requirements, which undermined the organizer’s plans, and despite the paranoia of some participants and the energetic way they filed such complaints as: Is [[Ed Schroder|Rebel Computers]] really a subsidiary of [[Hegener & Glaser]]? Was [[Fidelity]] secretly using a multiprocessor? Were the [[Rebel|ReCom]] and [[Mephisto]] teams conspiring to fix the outcome of the event (in a foreign tongue, yet), and so on. Such nervousness is not uncommon in micro events, but the complaints were dealt with in a serious and conscientious way, even if some issues were not fully resolved. }
