You probably know things that I don't because one thing I am sure is that, at
least R.Lang clearly stated the change of direction when G4 was released. G3 had
some bad loss against players like Vaisser, Anand or Nikolic who successfully
played slow games against it and customers wanted a more risky style.
But it does not really matter.

Genius 3 was not released. It happened in fact at the intel PCA in London
*before* G3 was released (it was named in my local chess magazine Genius 2.9!)
but I agree that it was probably almost the same as the commercial engine that
followed, the win over Kasparov was the ideal advertisement.

Exactly. Once well known, genius 3 became a rather easy target for GMs patially
because of its conservative style.
