This has been extensively discussed, conculusion being that Garry & his team were not careful enough in choosing their match conditions. For instance, one of the conditions was that both parties would have an exchange of PUBLIC games played several weeks prior to the beginning of the match. Come time to exchange games, DB had NONE, since it had abstained from any public games (in it's current configuration) prior to the match. Things like this not only caused G.K. to be poorly prepared against D.B., but also brought about paranoia when G.K. saw just how tough D.B. actually was. Dave
