In a despicable act of cowardice, Kasparov made the first draw offer, which the
DJ team declined.

Where did the second draw offer come from?  Since the game was billed as GK v
DJ, and the DJ team are decent, honourable men, then one must surely assume that
the draw offer came from DJ itself, as it was playing the game.

Wrong. Turns out, the final draw offer had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do
with the computer that was playing the game.

Rather, the decision was made by Amir, Shay, GM Boris Alterman, backup copy of
DJ, uncle Tom Cobley, uncle Tom Cobley's dog, and uncle Tom Cobley's wife.

It would be funny if it wasn't a game of immense importance with several million
people following and very rare TV coverage.
