	Why do you find it odd that DB, in a position that is probably
already strategically lost, plays a move that allows unfathomable
complications?  "Blunder" seems, as I have commented in "r.g.c.c", the
wrong word for a move that may not even be a mistake and the consequences
of which are still being debated three years later.  What *should* DB have
played at move 19, and what confidence do you -- does anyone! -- have that
Kasparov would not still have won in much the same way as in the actual
game?
