I would be glad to help as i said before but there is one problem, I know that i
have seen the analysis of different positions in which a commercial will find
the move played however we would have to go through the log files alot closer
than you think as some moves are given in the mainline of others.
For example i posted recently about Deeper Blue playing h5 when it saw this at
11/6 from 3 or 4 moves earlier so this will probably show to require much more
time than we think...........But when you think about the draw missed by
Kasparov this should've come up in the pv from earlier moves but i didn't see
it, It is supposed to be too deep for DB so when micros find this move can they
be picking it for the wrong reasons ? If not then clearly Deep Blue searched
positions differently and better, for example several times a top commercial
will find the correct move in the pv for test sets yet change it's mind.

If we are going to do this it should be under strict rules agreed apon by people
who think deeper blue is stronger and those that do not. I don't know if
Prof. Hyatt would participate or not but i think if he would this would bring
closeure for the time being ...atleast untill either the DF-Kramnik match and or
DB being ressurected to play weather that be against DF or any other program.
