From a report of John Henderson on TWIC: Leonxto Garcia asked Garry about Feng-hsiung Hsu’s ‘Deep Blue’ challenge, and would he be playing in Frankfurt if, as expected, Fritz 6 is one of the competitors? The world no.1 explained that his agent, Owen Williams, had made a very detailed response to this challenge. "It has to be remembered, Feng-hsiung Hsu is a free agent now. He doesn’t have the backing of IBM. Now, if IBM were to issue the challenge, I’m interested." He then addressed the question of playing Fritz 6 in the Frankfurt Giants’.

I feel that computers playing in these conditions would be very unfair for humans.
