I would not bother complaining, the majority view here seems to be that the
result was fine.

As for myself, I think both sides were pathetic, one only has to look at the
game to see there was plenty left in it.

The whole point of these man vs machine games is to see whether the man can
defeat the machine who is never mentally tired.

The game was only starting. Either side could have made a mistake, probably
Kasparov would have been the one too.

Maybe what they need is to make the machine not accept draws so easily.

Both sides had lost 1 pawn and their queens. No pieces developed to attack.
everything was just getting interesting. And they quit like pathetic cowards.

If this is an example of high quality chess then both Kasparov and the DJ team
can go get fucked.

Niether of them deserve anything from this result. Maybe if we all swap queens
early an lose a pawn here and there we can have plenty of great draws from now
on.

I put this position into chessmaster and chessmaster would not accept a draw
from this position. Maybe because chessmaster does not have controllers who are
wimps and cowards.

This final game really pisses me off.
