No matter how many times I look over some of those Deep Blue games against Kasparov, I think to myself what is all the fuss about. Kasparov played some very stupid moves. Maybe having in the back of his mind that maybe some human intervention was involved made him want to say stuff it. They should just release what he asks for, what is the big deal, unless they have something to hide. Its not as though they are protecting Deep Blue secrets, it is now just a pile of rubbish now. They did a hit and run, and to me if your really look at those games played especially the ones kasparov lost. Is it really worth the effort. Take on the top three players in the world and beat them in a series of games, then I will gather more interest. Plus we are talking about a machine that has been pulled apart. So it not like it is anything special anymore. I just want to see if his accusations are correct.
