At least that's what I want to believe! It's so rare in this forum... When it comes to the match, I think that all the moves were made by DJ. No question about that. The draw procedure, I think was the same as in all previous human-computer games of this type. The team will make the decision about accepting the draw or not. I agree with you that using the backup computer for the draw decision seems a bit strange even if it was according to the rules. I suppose however that Kasparov would have "exploded" if it wasn't clear that they could do it... Peter
