MAURICE ASHLEY: Well, this is indeed the kind of position that I
think a human would love to have against a computer. Because
there's no real tactics going on yet, and it doesn't even look
like there's going to be any tactics really in the long-term.
It's the kind of thing that you just have to look out for some
kind of positional -- nothing easy for the computer to start
mixing it up and I'm somewhat surprised that they weren't
careful enough in the programming to make sure that this kind
of situation didn't happen. It just seems like what's Deep
Blue going to be thinking about now. We saw it yesterday when
it didn't have much to do, made very, very awkward, strange
moves. Only when it found something to do in positions to open
it up a little bit did it play well. You'd think it would go
for that in the -- that in the beginning instead of letting the
position already get controlled by Kasparov.
YASSER SEIRAWAN: We do have a gentleman in the audience
who
really wants to ask us something.
