Emcee. What defeat was the most painful to you?

G.K. I lost only one game to Deep Blue. However it was not the defeat itself
that hurt me so much, but my own light-mindedness before the match. Well, it was
still possible to insist on a complete check-out of the computer, but I didn't
do this. This defeat produced a really oppressive impression on me and a long
time had passed before I recovered. And now I am proud that after such a loss in
1997, aged 34, I managed to start anew and in a year's time I began to win all
the tournaments again.
