To say that Kasparov would have still tried the same excuses, > seems to me, as not being very fair and extremly biased against Him. Not nearly so unfair as to take the group that built a chess machine that did what no other has come close to doing, and right after they accomplish what we _all_ were saying was impossible, to accuse them of 'cheating' to do this, was simply _very_ ugly. So how is my suspecting that he would have found other things to complain about worse than what he did in the _first_ place. No evidence. Just got his tail kicked and then resigned in a drawn position that he overlooked. And he accused deep blue of cheating? :) > > They could have been doctored up, we don't know yet. There you go... right out of Kasparov's mouth. Always assume the DB guys cheated... never assume Kasparov just prepared poorly and screwed up as a result. > > "They had >>no 'chain of evidence' to make sure they were observed at all times."

Why should we take one side over the other, until >we get more FACTS and not OPINIONS? Innocent until proven guilty is the reason. Nothing more needs be said.
