Marc,

You are making my case for me. ;)

You state that "How do you "KNOW" that the Deep Junior team isn't playing
"advanced chess" with the computer and a team of human GMs?"

This is exactly my point. We can NEVER know FOR SURE whether Xie is cheating or
not. Xie knows this, she is not stupid. Do you think she is? She is the women's
world chess champion, for goodness sake. And knowing this, she should to lose
the game so that she can save her integrity from being blackened by vicious
rumors, rumors not unlike this one.
