I'm not saying the DB team didn't cheat. I doubt they did, but it's obviously possible. I think it is a little suspect that IBM wasn't open with DB's logs. I can't see how it could have hurt them, but they probably had their reasons. Regardless, not releasing the logs is NOT proof that they cheated. What I am saying is that GK is a jerk for accusing them of cheating. The fact is, GK has no clue how chess programs work. His opinions have absolutely no value, so he is in NO position to make the accusations that he did. -Tom
