I am serious enough about the Turing test comment. Ken Thompson was there to oversee the match and make sure that DB was on the up-and-up. Or is he part of the cover-up scam too? Last I heard, he doesn't take his paycheck from IBM. GMs like Kasparov (and Karpov, and Botwinnik, and a lot of other strong players) fix games all the time. Maybe this has something to do with why after losing he is so ready to point fingers. Dave That's an interesting comment - I think it's documented that Karpov and Botwinnik fixed games, probably due to pressure from the Soviet regime even if it's still inexcusable. But Kasparov? And others? Where did you get that information? In any case I agree that Kasparov does tend to make sweeping statements, but it would be interesting if IBM let an expert examine the logs to prove or disprove his allegations. Michael
