Right! We could argue about this till the cows come home. But let me help simplify the problem: Since Deep Blue no longer exists (the hardware has been dismantled), DB technically has the same status as a dead player. This would reduce the possibilities from six to two lists. Either 1. Kasparov 2. Fritz 7.0.0.6 3. <deceased> or 1. Fritz 7.0.0.6 2. Kasparov 3. <deceased>
