Speaking for myself, and I had more interest in this than the _entire world_, I knew about Benjamin's involvement. A while before the 2nd match, I heard about another Spanish GM, the name Cifuentes rings a bell. Did Byrne really work with Deep Blue ? Didn't know this, and it sounds illogical, as he was about eighty years old at the time. Never heard of Dlugy's involvement with DB. I'm not saying it mayn't be true, but as a representative of the public, I'm hearing of this only now. Amir
