If he wins, then "PC computers are patsies, compared to Deeper Blue." If he loses, then "Obviously, he threw the match on purpose." or "The machine was clearly stronger." If he draws, then "Looks like the whole thing was rigged.." It is certainly possible for a super GM to blunder (and to do so repeatedly). Perhaps he is under some enormous pressure. And it is also possible that (gasp) he was simply outplayed in the losses. Of course, something underhanded is possible. But I think we should give everyone the benefit of the doubt unless some sort of firm, physical proof is revealed.
