I'll add a As powerful as DB was - it may not be as strong as Deep Shredder running on a Quad Opteron. In fact, I would bet on DS to win the match against Deep Blue running on today's best available a hardware. So that if he GK finds that out to be true, I would not be surprised. The difference is the programming. Now if DB added Stephan to his programming team, it would be no contest - DB would win. Just my $.02 , your mileage may vary. >bit on this to Part 2 going up in a day or two. > >I doubt Kasparov will apologize for this, but at the very least it should put an >end to these requests for evidence.

Amazingly, many people were not aware of the availability and simply did not ask. I posted more than once links to the logs here that they were available, but not suprisingly, my posts get lost in the shuffle. They were others posting to their availability as well. http://chessprogramming.org/cccsearch/ccc.php?art_id=242761 http://chessprogramming.org/cccsearch/ccc.php?art_id=300260 http://chessprogramming.org/cccsearch/ccc.php?art_id=300261 best, Michael
