Subject: Kasparov was not afraid of Deep Junior. End the unfounded accusations.

All of these unfounded accusations from people like Mr. Hyatt that the world
champion, Kasparov, somehow arranged the trouble between Adams and Deep Junior
have become monotonously annoying.

Kasparov has no reason to be afraid of Deep Junior.  I am completely confident
that he would have defeated Deep Junior if they had met.  Here are my reasons:

*  He proved that he can defeat programs at fast time controls when he defeated
Deep Thought in a game/90 two game match in 1989.  This program was probably a
bit stronger than Deep Junior is today, as it searched well over 2,000,000 NPS
and was very sophisticated.

*  He defeated Deep Blue in 1996.  This program is obviously much stronger than
Deep Junior.

*  He is quite clearly the best player in the world today, and perhaps the best
that has ever lived.  He wins tournament after tournament and shows now sign of
relenting.
