I disagree
This game was not played and we cannot know what was the result if there was no
connection problem.

The only reason to call this game a win for Deep Junior is if Deep Junior had a
clear advantage(I do not have the game so I do not know) but I read that the
game was stopped after 10 moves and I do not believe that Deep Junior could get
a clear advantage after 10 moves.

Xie was also cheated in the game she lost because she played it at 60/40 and not
at 120/40 and we have no idea what could be in a fair match.

There was no one fair game in the match.

Ms. polgar lost against Fritz and not against Junior5.
