Your conspiration theory does not make sense. The simplest way toent Deep Junior from winning the tournament was not to invite it. Deep Junior is commercial so the players could know the real strength of it before the event. It is probably 2700 elo at 1 hour/game and it is not enough to be the strongest player in the event. Only one year ago Junior did 2:2 against the Israeli team at 1 hour/game and it is performance of clearly less than 2700. Junior got better in software and hardware but I do not think that it deserves more than 2700. There is no reason arrangements >could not be made for a rematch.For example why was it ok for the game1 of >kasparov-piket to the adjourned. This was all a Fiasco as was said, Kasparov, >adams.....and the rest of them couldnt face that fact that Deep Junior would >win. I do not see what has kasparov to do with this decision. I think that adams should refuse to play in the all event in the begining because he could not prepare seriously when he has to play against another player in the same time. Adams acted like a child. Never once in his post did he state how well it >crushed him, or that he was dead lost, all he says is that it looked as if Deep >Junior would lose on time! Wow he should start playing computers. Computers can lose on time. I know that Junior is losing often on time in engine-engine games of 1 minutes/game and the same is for nimzo. Adams is not responsible for it. In the case of the game adams-Deep Junior Deep Junior was in time trouble because of different problems(internet delay) and I do not think that Junior could lose 1 hour/game on time under fair conditions.
