Go up one level in this thread


On Kasparov's draw offer after Rxc3 in Game 6, Amir Ban reports as follows:

<Draw was offered here by Kasparov. He told the arbiter that since the program
was showing negative score, he can claim a draw. He has no such right in the
rules, and the arbiter quite properly answered "no comment".>

Two things strike me as very odd here. First, I can hardly believe that
Kasparov, having been familiar with the rules for quite some time, should have
*claimed* the draw, and even justified the claim with such a ridiculous
argument.

But more importantly, does Mr. Ban's account imply that Kasparov was held
current of Deep Juniors evaluations during the game?
