Horse Pucky!

 Of course, your agenda is not truth, so that

More Programmer BS!

CRAP!
If you Programmers want a make a machine that plays Grandmaster Chess,
then DO IT!

Do NOT Program your Opening Books to play against a "Particular"
 player. Kasparov was "sandbagged" from the beginning . and you know DAMN WELL
that was the point!

For Kasparov to play his 'best' lines, was to be playing against himself, and
others over ELO 2700!

Are you DENSE?
  Yes, I guess so..!
