The subject was about the DB main-line showing a 3 x pawn sacrifice for a king attack and still having a good score. That and that only made Kasparov suspicious and things started. Kasparov just could not believe a computer was able to come up with such a strong and very human-like play. As far as I remember Amir's interest was in other programs views (analysis) of the move in question. >After a year of talking about this, with many explaining that the output was >not 'unusualy' (just not well-formatted) he gave up on it. All thing ends. At some point everything is just said, no need to repeat statements. It doesn't mean he gave up. >There was his demand that IBM drop the "Junior" in "Deep Blue Junior". I would say if Amir was first with the name "Junior" he has every right to complain. Ed >As for curious, asking questions is one thing that a curious person would >do. I don't recall your making the kind of statements he has made.
