They could do a match between Deep thought and the commercial Fritz3 after the game that they lost and prove it but they did not do it. If this is truth that deep thought can get even only 18:2 in a match of 20 games against Fritz3 then I want to see the games. It can change the bad public opinion about deep thought and I do not understand what is the reason that they hide the games. The best result in the ssdf games against the same Fritz3(P90) was 17.5:2.5 and if they can get better result then I am interested to see it. Uri > >with 7 rounds, anything can (and will) happen.
