IBM took their _fortunate_ win of the second match and ran! Truly it was a " Sad Day " for chess, chessplayers, and chesscomputers! IBM made excuses for packing up the 8 year project, saying they were done and moving on to other horizons. This should have been an ongoing scientific project but they just pulled the plug. It's 4 years later and still no one has picked up where IBM left off, and I don't expect anything close to the Deep Blue Project anytime soon. Poor science, but good marketing from IBM. Still that is dabatable as well, there was money still to be had with the DB but IBM just did'nt have the right plan after their serendipitous success. Terry McCracken
