Of course it was *such* a good move that GK beleived that specific move was *fixed* that it was possibly submitted by some human -- such as GM Joel Benjamin. Complete hogwash, and GK total display of *gutter* sportsmanship killed any possible rematch then or now. If DB does come out of the closet, it will play some other Top 50 or so GM - my prediction is GM Yassersawn (sorry for the spelling - not my strong point :) ) -- will be DB's next opponent. He (alonged with IM Ashley displayed) a great knack for press relations and would be a very worthy opponent -- both on and off the board. A PR coup for IBM in my opinion.
