First of all, I can't imagine Kasparov being in anybody's pocket. Second, the heated argument about Deep Blue can easily explain the animosity towards Crafty without resorting to third parties. What I can tell you is that I keep receiving regular updates of Crafty for CB, together with positive comments about it. I don't believe in the long and sinister arm of CB, and even less in this case. Enrique
