I'm definitely in the group 'c'. (but then, who cares ;) I'm not quite sure in which group Bob is. Maybe you should ask him before you put him in group 'a'. :) >During the debate the supporters of Deep Blue's exceptional strength were >asked to name such a move, but failed to show anything convincing. This was >the situation even in 1997, when PCs and engines were weaker. I agree that people from group 'a' should come with some kind of 'proof' (or hint) which supports their claim. But likewise, people from group 'b' should do the same for _their_ claim. Since DB no longer exists, it's unlikely that either group 'a' or group 'b' can prove anything. Therefore it would make sense to stop this discussion - something which of course won't happen though. :) >long as DB remains mothballed. (A Deep Blue Jr. is still around and has made >sporadic appearances.) I don't know anything about DB Jr. What is it? Where can I get any info about that? Sargon
