Nor will you.  :)

It is less about chess, and more about 'bashing deep blue'.  Which is pretty
common, since they are clearly at the top, and everyone would like to see them
'brought down'.

There will be more DB news later, I don't think it is _nearly_ as dead as
a few want to suggest.  Just "hide and watch" is the best advice.  And
responding to the occasional 'troll' won't change things very much, I have
a lot of experience in that.  :)
