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?
