Uri, this is a quote from Amir Ban on Usenet dated 1997/02/06 ---- begin ----- I think everyone that has followed computer chess closely agrees that a strong program can be recognized not only by its results but also by the obvious quality of its moves, and in particular its ability to get out of dangerous positions. The reaction of the DB team to Hong-Kong to my mind showed that they are a bit "green" and do not yet understand what Computer Chess at the highest level means. DB may be a strong program, but still has to prove it, both by results and quality of play. Amir ---- end ----- He does not deny that DB is stronger than commercials but he doesn't say it either. What he says is more or less what he says now, after the "fact" (the DB-K match). I hope having demonstrated to you that nobody changes his opinions, pro or anti DB, because of any "fact".
