I watched the game. Feivel had the right to ask TO but look at the match: Feivel was LOSING. Maybe a good player but NOT sportif player. I can understand if u ask TO immediately if u are in a winning position but in this situation i consider it a big antisportif way to play. According to me chess is different. Sorry

Saying the game was unfair would be silly.

Christina,
I will gladly play anyone here (first come first serve) an unrated game from the position in question to stop all this idiotic speculation that I was losing. The only advantage white had is the advantage of the opening move if he had that much. So come on and try me, I would really like to be shown. If anyone is unwilling to take me up on this offer they had best remain silent or risk looking like fools.

The computer at that position has Edmond with a ridiculously small advantage

p.s. I'm sorry, I forgot I was on Red Hot Pawn and not at Time for Chess, my Internet is down, so I'm using my dad's computer...
Before this becomes a debate on who hsad an advantage if any, a word from one (or both) of the participants is in order. Edmond Dantes did have (in my opinion) an advantage that is based on white having the first move. To be put bluntly it was NOT a loss but most probably a draw.
