Subject: If you left it up to DJ, there would be almost no reason to ever draw !

Thank god we had the possibility to consult with Boris and with DJ on the Backup
machine when considering a draw.

I don't think you want to see the computer making its own draw decisions. You'd
have another four or five hours of game, the human falls asleep... The computer
wins, the humans get angry. I don't think that's what you want to see. Chess is
a very pragmatic game played over the board, you cannot really isolate a
position or two for an example. And you have parameters and ethics around these
matches. Garry tires and the computer doesn't. And you have human objectivity
that needs to be inserted. We don't want to win and be accused of torturing the
human in an equal position, but that wasn't the case and it was a great match.
