Kaspy vs Deepblue 2. Deen Hergott vs Hiarcs6 3. Kasparov vs Fritz5.32 4. Junior vs israeli team all these games people gave excuses why the humans did not win. I know of no excuses given by computers when they lose, usually most people are routing for the human, and are predujiced against the machine.
