No what I think is silly is denying evidence which is right in front of your
eyes.  I don't know anything about kaspy's alledged "psyched" out, that is for a
psychologist or psychairtrist to determine, But what we do have that we can see
is a six game match that deepblue won!. One thing is speculation, another is
fact.
