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.
