I am completely confident >that he would have defeated Deep Junior if they had met. Here are my reasons: Your reasoning is flawed, and you have selective memory. Kasparov has every reason to fear Deep Junior. Kasparov has lost before to a computer chess program in a very simular knock out match which was much weaker, ChessGenius running on I think a P 120 computer. Deep Junior was must likely the strongest player in this tounament at this time control. It is an outrage that Deep Junior was forced out of this tournament after beating GM Adams in the first game, thus giving GM Adams almost zero chance of winning this match because the tie breaker was game in 5 mins where Deep Junior would have crushed Adams with ease. I don't know who pulled what strings, but as I said in the Kasparov chat room as this outrage went down, "They are going to give Adams this match". It was clear to me someone did not want Deep Junior to win this tournament by any means! If this match was Adams-Kasparov and the same thing happend to Kasaprov that happend to Deep Junior would Kasparov have been forced out of the tournament......NO!!! In my eyes and I would hope many others, the first KC online tournament has proven itself to be a shame. > >* He proved that he can defeat programs at fast time controls when he defeated >Deep Thought in a game/90 two game match in 1989.
