Subject: Chess error in Guiness Book of Records

Hello,
I have the 1998 edition so maybe it has been corrected by now.
Here is a quote from the book.

'IBM's Deep Blue supercomputer was the first computer to beat a human chess
grandmaster in a regulation game when it played Garry Kasparov in Philadelphia,
USA in 1995...'

Bent Larsen, among others, lost to computers in regulation time earlier than
1995.
Regards,
Peter
