Has any Garry turned down any computer challenge mathces since then?  I assume
his challenge for a rematch against Deep Blue is still open, and it is probably

And he was correct in his suspicions.  One simul spot was given to a team of ICC
players (limited to under 2000 players I think, it was only for fun), and one
