I don't believe a word of those crocodiles tears. The technical unprobability
stares you right in the face. I mean anybody of us could have logged into their
site with Junior on a notebook within seconds and played the game against Adams!
I played a couple of guest games online there. Provider down? You dial another
provider. Power failure? You call a friend on your mobile phone to log in and
play the game on his computer. This is a multimillion dollar multinational web
company and they are not able to connect to the internet?

This was a very convenient technical problem which happened exactly in the
second when Junior got a winning position. Suddenly everybody in the company saw
that Junior would play against Kasparov and kill him. So "they were not able to
connect to the internet" anymore.
