The more than it is coming out the more I am starting to realise that this whole show was rubbish. Either the computer does everything in regards to the game, or it does not play. What I want to know is if Kasparov offered a draw, then does the DJ team ask the program for a draw, like you can do in a program like chessmaster. And on the second draw attempt, did the DJ program say to ask for a draw, or was it the decision of the human component. If it was the DJ team that decided the draw, then they are to be condemned, and so to the whole chess circus.
