What interview did you read?  Here are some quotes from the one that I read:

"I was however quite shocked to read the unwarranted accusations by Shay
Bushinsky and Amir Ban."
"Indeed whilst this match did nothing to change my high opinion of Deep Junior,
unfortunately I am unable to say the same about its programmers and operators."
"It is also surprising to me that as much has been made of the importance of the
match to Deep Junior that it's operators did not ensure that the venue at which
it played had either a very reliable internet connection and or backup
connections and other facilities available."
"I feel after the problem Mig behaved very decently by accepting much of the
blame and also attempting to defend me against the unwarranted accusations that
have been thrown at me."
"Clearly however in the early stages it will be necessary for all sides to be
understanding to deal with any teething troubles and I find it a great shame
that the Deep Junior team has been unable to do this."

Not the same one as I did, apparently.

What were the wild accusations to which you refer?  Most of those that I saw
seemed to be based upon credible testimony of one or more eyewitesses to the
actual events.
