   **ANNOUNCEMENT** from POTZY: "ob 35" for DEEP BLUE - KASPAROV GAME 3 LIVE on
\   ICC for members.  "set kib 1" to hear all commentary.  "set kib 2" to hear
\   only titled players.

Schroer(IM) kibitzes: 1... e6 is a good anti-computer opening, but it is not
\   K's style
sicilian(IM) kibitzes: maybe he'll imitate anand and play center counter to get
\   out of book
Schroer(IM) kibitzes: I expect another 2.c3 Sicilian
Schroer(IM) kibitzes: this game seems to have started early!
crafty(C)(DM) kibitzes: let's hope that's a *real* move... :)
Schroer(IM) kibitzes: 1... e5 is reasonable, with a strong-point defense,
\   possibly a Marshall Attack
sicilian(IM) kibitzes: is gk even there yet??
Schroer(IM) kibitzes: computers still don't fare well in sustained mating
\   attacks, I think
Schroer(IM) kibitzes: 1.Nc3 would be a poor choice by DB here
Schroer(IM) kibitzes: I consider 1.e4 to be virtually forced for a computer
\   facing a human in a serious game
crafty(C)(DM) kibitzes: 40/2, 20/1, sd/30 mins
crafty(C)(DM) kibitzes: is a frog's butt watertight?
crafty(C)(DM) kibitzes: (in response to does db have K's games)...

Schroer(IM) kibitzes: Kasparov has extensive experience in the Anti-Marshall,
\   but that's the subject for another game ...
Schroer(IM) kibitzes: they repeat the opening from Game 1
crafty(C)(DM) kibitzes: I'll bet kasparov doesn't repeat for long... :)
Schroer(IM) kibitzes: I don't think this opening was so bad for K in Game 1
Schroer(IM) kibitzes: etranger raises the interesting question of whether DB
\   will be able to improve meaningfully on Game 1

Schroer(IM) kibitzes: I understand that Seirawan suggested ... Rd8 instead of
\   K's ... Kh8 in that game, and that it was considered to be ok for black

Schroer(IM) kibitzes: repeating exact opening variations repeatedly v. Kasparov
\   is well known to be dangerous

Schroer(IM) kibitzes: Kasparov has analyzed this position a lot, I am sure  :-)
Schroer(IM) kibitzes: 8... c*d4 is the main move here

Roman(GM) kibitzes: This position was played many manty times on ICC between me
\   and Ferret and crafty
