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...
