The reason why deep blue *never* lost to any other computer chess programm is
the simple fact that it was never exposed to play an official game against any
other computer chess programm. Maybe after some drawbacks such as the loss
against Fritz in Hongkong 'they' did not want to take the risk of loosing
another game? I personally dislike the whole concept of deep blue which was only
designed to play the world champion exclusively.
