On page 224 there is a funny anecdote: the Kasparov team was puzzled by Rd1 (instead of the expected Rf5) and <quote grom book> the whole Kasparov camp went into a very deep analysis on why the alternative move 44..Rf5 was no good. In the end, they concluded that the reason why Deep Blue did not play 44..Rf5 was "It probably saw mates in twenty or more [moves]". I could not help but burst out laughing. <end quote> Why ask Robert if you can buy the book, and read the answer from Hsu himself? Dennis
