And even when there is, who's to say that Deeper Blue found it and the personal computer didn't. While Deeper Blue played awesome chess, it still didn't play perfectly in general. So, I think that it hard to conclude anything from the results when the chosen moves are different. As a comparison, I've (and I'm sure others have to) looked through top Grandmaster games while having my PC analysing. What does it mean when the PC suggests a different move? May be worse? equivalent? better? Very often hard to tell. Gordon
