Thanks.

We have two open issues.

1. My question about the first game in '97. Why Kasparov couldn't repeat his
dominating play against DB2? Was a general question about the apparent twist in
the match after the first game. BTW the mistakes of the machine were widely
analyzed and "accepted", as far as game 1 is concerned. Could you comment on the
mistakes, the twist and their reasons?

2. The Eduard Nemeth bet. Ok, fine. I talked to him via chat and he says he
wants 30 minutes games. But since he hasn't really understood yet our debate
here, he tought that it was a challenge from your side out of the blue, and his
first question was "how much money for each point". Well, I promissed him 200 €
(euro) from _my_ side, but explained that 10 game only wouldn't be enough, it
should be about 20 or 30 games overall. Could you please comment a little bit
from your knowledge about similar "bets" on ICC and the probable outcome? I mean
would you say that GM Roman would win 1 pt. pro 10 games trivially or is that
already difficult for him in 30' games?

Another technical problem was for Eduard, who never played on ICC, that he
thinks he could only play on the new FRITZ server. Well, what is your opinion to
the technical problems. Could it be made possible to connect the two servers for
the little event? Or would you also say, what I have told Eduard, that the two
servers are probably similar for the players. Ahm, I remember, Fritz server has
a direct connection between the players, where you know exactly how long the
delay and stuff like this. Please give us your judgement, it could be
interesting for many potential players from Europe.

And to the chess results, would you mind giving a border line, Eduard in your
opinion could not overstep, e.g. 2 pts. or something? Final question, and please
just for the German player who gives so much heart blood into computerchess,
what could be the prospects for someone like Eduard (understood that he might
even win 3 pts/10 games) in the world of CC?

Thanks a lot for your answers
