Games against P90 machines.  What were the program versions? what were
the settings?  Who was the operator?  Which book was used?  Where are
the games for inspection?  Did the DB team get permission to perform
this tournament and permission to report results?  Were you there?

This is all mythical at best.  Still no proof and non of the programs
were Deep Junior were they?
