Yes, Ed Schroeder already announced this a while back and also gave us the URL of the according pages on the Chessbase WWW page. Most of Kasparov's comments are freely available online. > I thought, no matter what IBM did, maybe the Deep Blue team was > ok and did a great job.

I was quite surprised by some of Hsu's remarks myself. Especially, his seemingly paranoid unwillingness to publish the much-discussed games of the slowed-down DB Jr. against commercial microcomputer chess programs (such as Genius & Rebel) made me wonder ... Furthermore, I am very disappointed that he seems to feel no scientific obligation to publish any *computer-chess specific* details about the novelties uncovered by the DB team. =Ernst=
