Kasparov has lost before to a >computer chess program in a very simular knock out match which was much weaker, >ChessGenius running on I think a P 120 computer. Some facts: 1)The time control was G/25 and not G/60 2)I remember that kasparov lost 1.5:.5 against Genius3 on p90 when he thought that he was playing against Genius2. kasparov did not know the opponent when in this case he had not the same problem. 3)Kasparov later won Genius3(pentium120) in G/25 4)If kasparov wanted not to play deep Junior the simplest way for him was not to invite Deep Junior. Kasparov knows Deep Junior and it does not make sense to assume that he suddenly in the tournament found that Deep Junior is strong. Deep Junior was must likely the >strongest player in this tounament at this time control. I agree that kasparov could not be sure about winning but I think that kasparov is better than Deep Junior in game/60 and he has more than 50% chances to get at least 1.5 out of 2 in 2 games Kasparov probably knows Deep Junior's weaknesses and I doubt if the other opponents really prepared to play in an anti-Junior style. I saw weak games of Junior6 in the ssdf games and I think that the opponents should try to get Junior out of book as soon as possible. I saw 2 games from the ssdf games when Junior lost agaisnt the king 2(2290 ssdf rating) because Junior forgot to castle. I do not know if these problems are fixed in Junior6a but I am sure that Junior has serious positional problems and players only need to know to play for the right positions when it has these problems. The problem is that adams had to play against another human and probably had not time to prepare seriously against Deep Junior. Uri
