It would _still_ look exactly the same to me. It beat Kasparov in a long game. It showed it could play endgames with him on equal footing, something that no other program has ever shown. I personally didn't think that DB2 would win the match. I had predicted 4-2 for Kasparov. I'm not sure it would win a third match if it was unchanged from the second match. Kasparov was psyched, to be sure. But that _still_ doesn't mean DB2 couldn't play chess. It _obviously_ could, based on the games vs Kasparov, plus the other exhibition games it played...
