I am still waiting on what programs were used and what the rules and
set up was and who the operator was.  I do not think that any of the
programmers had approved this match (thus the operator).  Even if this
is a true result, it is not valid with out full disclosure ahead of time.

You critize people all the time for "program x beat crafty 100 to
nothing" and demand to know what the book, settings, pgn's ... in
this forum.  Why the double standard.

Did they test against Deep Junior?
