You're kidding, yes?

In case you're not, it's ChessBase playing a little April Fools' Day joke.

One look at the box and you can find hints it's a stunt. One example which
should be obvious to everyone who is a chess fan, is Kasparov's eyes lurking in
the shadows.

The article was even more comical. It also includes a couple of games, where
Kimo (Kasparov) is crushing Deep Fritz 8 and another where he loses to Deep
Junior 8.
