Good for IBM. They deserved the prize. Glad you brought it up! I knew I could count on you! Quoting from Feng- Hsiung Hsu's book "Behind Deep Blue" Pg 263 "Right after the rematch we did not believe that we would receive the Fredkin Prize. While satisfying the original intent of the Prize, the match did not conform to the Prize Committee's match conditions set a few years back, in particular the length of the match and the size of the prize fund."
