Boycot is ok, but more efficient would be to go to the site, click on "feedback"
and tell their business jackos that they made a horrible mistake. People who
love computer chess have a serious and valuable interest in chess - they are
important visitors for such a web site, they have money, they read the banners,
etc.

Kasparovchess.com coldly decided that Deep Junior should be kicked out of the
tournament and deprived the world of a wonderful computer chess event.

Lets go there and lets write that we are disappointed and angry and want to see
Deep Junior playing. Computer Chess and its fans also have a weight and a
meaning, not only human chess.
