Maybe... OTOH, he was surely aware of the tremendous developement which occured
later on. In a big GM blitz tournament in Munich 1994 (elo average 2625) he was
2nd behind Fritz 3/P90, which won +10 =5 -2. Kasparov won the playoff. Later
that year, he lost to Chess Genius in the Intel Grand Prix, in London.
