I think that you underestimate Genius3 on p90 against humans. It is not so easy to win against it at G/25 If kasparov knew before the game that he was playing genius3 then it is possible that he would not try some anti Genius2 ideas that he tried against it. I think that it is not fair to tell the opponent wrong information before the game and it can change the results. Uri
