I chose abstain in the last opinion poll.

If you believe Hsu then probably the ssdf rating of deep blue chip is more than
2800 because he claims that deep blue Junior won 38:2 against commercial
programs and deep blue chip is going to be stronger but I simply do not know if
to believe him because I looked at some public games of deep blue Junior and it
lost against someone with 24xx rating in 15 minutes per game and drew against
another not very strong player(of course it won most of the games but every
commercial is going to do the same in fast time control).

I want to assume that he is telling the truth but I was not impressed by deep
blue Junior public games.

I think it was better for him to say nothing if he cannot prove it to the
public.

The result of the opinion poll suggests that most of the voters do not believe
Hsu.
