Uri, you don't know what the bug was, I don't know what the bug was, and now out
of all the positions you could analyze, you pick the one where it's certain that
there is a bug in it. Why?

Seems to me there are hundreds of other positions more useful & interesting for
analysis, for example from the (by Deep Blue at least) excellently played game
6? But if you want to ... go on by all means. :)

Greetings,
Paul
