Please note that I don't, and that this was not a direct statement by
Hsu, but this was part of his presentation where he pointed out the
almost linear progression of strength from Belle through Deep Thought 1
and 2. He concluded that in order to beat Kasparov, they felt that they
could not be equal in strength, as his ability to pick up on weaknesses
quickly would allow him to prevail. They would have to be slightly
better to win by a small margin. My impression was that he really thinks
that it is marginally better, though. I will post more in a while, in
Part II.
