I posted some analysis by Hans Berliner, which indicated that white (Kasparov)
was winning.  I suggested a move or two as proxy for my program.

It is unfair to say that I said that I don't think that DB made a tactical
blunder in game 6.  I don't know whether Bxh7+ wins or doesn't win, but the only
evaluation of the position that I gave was that I thought that I would take with
a grain of salt any computer analysis that showed the game as drawn.

Mine wants to play 1. a3 Ba5 2. Bxh7+, but I don't think it understands the
resulting complications.  I didn't let it run as long as I wanted to because a
kid turned the machine off.
