Subject: Even if Deep Junior lost the rest, its performance is incredible

I see the tide turning in some of the message headers and now people are
apparently jumping ship.

Deep Junior has already gone toe to toe with some of the very best players in
the world and come out much better than I would have imagined at this time
control.

Quite frankly, I think it is more amazing than Deep Blue's performance against
Kasparov, considering the equipment difference.

I don't think that Deep Junior will lose the rest of the games.  But even if it
did, I would still be awesomely impressed by the incredible performance.

It's amusing how with one win people are ready to proclaim D.J. world champion
and with one loss, something inferior.  Kraminik is one of the elite players in
the world.  A loss should not prove astonishing.

Whatever the rest of the results are, Amir Ban and company deserve broad praise
for their astonishing efforts.
