  I think what you are forgetting is the fact that against Deepblue there is no
such thing as Anti computer chess, even Kaspy himself admitted that. I think
Deepblue would have performed better than Deepjr. the question for me is how
much better?  Kaspy tried to close the position when he choose the Ruy Lopez
against Deepblue, but Deepblue simply outplayed him!!
