You seem to be conveniently forgetting a few things:

a) When the Deep Blue project was started, the people working on it
were (among) the best in their field at that time. That was around 1995.
The rise of ChessTiger has been very recent, around 1995 I do not think
many people on this forum had even heard of it. And it was a lot weaker
then. Christophe's experience was much more limited.

b) Deep Blue is hardware. I would honestly be surprised if Christophe
would have the required knowledge to design and implement the chess
chips. The Deep Blue team had that knowledge.

It is so easy to make redicolous statements without any form of data
backing them up.
