You stated that he made public accusations about >cheating. There was a press conference after _every_ round. That was where he asked for the printouts. After round three he went 'further' again. I noticed in Hsu's book that after round three, Kasparov was still fuming about game 2 and used the expression "Hand of God" about one of the two moves (either axb or Qb6/Be4, I don't remember which). At that point, after round 3, I believe he was told "no" for the printouts. I will try to re-read the postscript version of Hsu's book as I believe he had a detailed description of the events. From my perspective, _any_ suggestion of cheating was wrong... whether it was after game 1, after game 6, or a year later. There was _never_ any evidence to support such a claim, in any form...
