I would prefer to leave such minor important "bickering" out of a serious
debate.

Let me repeat what I wanted to say. The DB team was the side that went into the
public with the telling that they had been outrageously insulted by Kasparov's
accusation of possible cheating. That is the meaning of the B. Weber article in
the NY Times.

However - that is now my point - Kasparov did _not_ go with his theory into the
public before that. You are the only one who hypostated such a thing. You
hypostated Kasparov's participation on a press conference after game two where
he should have said the like. My point is, there was not such a public statement
by Kasparov after game two.

Up to now you didn't substantiate your claim of the existence of such a public
accusation. It was the DB itself who ran into the public with that.

Now, after you couldn't substantiate you declare the whole question as moot
whether the DB team was the side which went into the public _first_.
