It is both a stupid *and* insulting question. A "poll" can't answer this. >And it shouldn't try. Based on the main moves questioned by Kasparov (ie axb5 >vs Qb6 and Be4 vs Qb6) it was quite obvious that DB came up with those moves >totally by itself. Making it into a poll question is simply insulting to the >DB team... No IMHO, it is a good poll question due to from what I have seen posted here before there are a number who feel that DB was assisted in finding some moves, although this is not my own opinion. I am still curious to find out how many people actually believe it. The pole isn't intended to answer the question but to simply find out how many people believe it.
