If someone who beated kramnik when kramnik was a child claims that he beated kramnik(the player who beated kasparov) then I doubt if kramnik can go to court against him. The situation here is similiar and the claim that Fritz beated Deep blue when Deep blue was young is not a lie. Bob hyatt can say that it was Deep thought and I understand that the hardware is Deep thought's hardware but the media called it deep blue at the time it lost against Fritz3 and they did not try to go to court against the media at that time. The media did not hide the fact that the hardware against kasaprov was faster but they stopped to use the name "deep thought" near 1992(I am not sure about the exact year they started to use the words Deep blue but it was clearly before the WCCC of 1995 because I remember previous tournaments with the word Deep blue including one tournament when Bent lersab won the machine 2.5-1.5).
