I opened my eyes and did not see  the games.
I do not know the exact conditions of the games.
It is impossible to check for errors in the games.

I prefer to look at games not from the history before 1995 when programs were
weaker than today and only in public games.

The theory you suggest is that the deep blue team decided to do the best they
can to hide everything positive about their machine.

people can choose if to believe it.
This is my last post in this subject.
