 Uri who's side are you on anyway?? I was under the obviously mistaken
impression that you were a die hard junior loyalist, now where does all this
sympathy for the humans come from, they gave junior an obvious and unmistakable
raw deal. You cannot make any excuses for the humans they were simply outplayed.
I did not hear the first grandmaster that Deep junior beat make any excuses when
he lost, he just admitted that he was very impressed with junior's play and
thought that it would have a 50% chance of winning the tournament, sounds like
he was right on the money.
