He gets a lot of things wrong, even on the basic informational level. He didn't
look too hard it seems. Barring the fact that even Chessbase has had Deep Junior
for quite some time, before Deep Fritz I believe, he even gets the hardware of
the Fritz-Kramnik match wrong by stating it ran on a dual Pentium III, instead
of the 8-way box that was actually used.
