9/14/2001 – The organisers of the
Man vs
Machine event have replied to the ten questions posed on the
Kasparov
Chess web site. "The Bahrain rules were an attempt to
level the playing field," write BGN Match Director Raymond
Keene and Rules Commissioner Eric Schiller in a statement sent
to a large number of journalists and media outlets. "We
may not be perfect, and are still making adjustments, but these
were our honest conclusions for a genuine test between man and
machine."
