Commentary for white move 14:

YASSER SEIRAWAN: I think that h7-h6 the computer's last move was probably a preventative one. It may have perceived that white may have gone h2-h4 with the not-so-disguised intention of g2-g4 winning the bishop. So I think this is a reasonable preventative move. I think what we're going to see now with Garry is the move Bc1-e3, trying to give up this dark squareed bishop. Deep Blue's knight on d4 has a beautiful positionally placed night, aggressive, great outpost, protected by the pawn in the center of the board, that e5 pawn, and the nice point behind the move Be3 is let's just give a random move for Deep Blue. c7-c6. Then after a move like Bxd4 de Nc3-e2 attacking that pawn on d4, c7-c5. Now we'll see the true extent of Garry's strategy which is to flood the king-side with an avalanche of pawns. The idea of g3-g4 Bh5-g6, a move like Bg2-4 3. GK MOVE: 14 Be3

MAURICE ASHLEY: Garry has indeed played the move Be3. We see how you're very familiar with the English opening. Why don't you just tell us the moves of the rest of the game.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: You'll have to go to the IBM web site to get that.

MAURICE ASHLEY: What was the mood of the team today, Murray? Deep Blue of course didn't care less after it was told Qe3, zip, zip, zip, yeah, it was a draw, yeah Garry resigned, yeah, I won. Next. Right? What about you guys? How did it feel?

MURRAY CAMPBELL: It's certainly nice to not have the problem of how do you handle the news that it was a draw. It's very nice to not have that problem. And, you know, Garry will have to display great nerves in order to not let such a thing bother him.

MAURICE ASHLEY: Is that what it is, it was a draw, good, Garry's upset, I don't know if he's real upset.

MURRAY CAMPBELL: In a sense that's of course true, one more problem to worry about. It's too bad that such a nice game was spoiled by this little trick at the end, but I think that doesn't detract from the quality of the play up till that point.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: The achievement.

MAURICE ASHLEY: What about Joel Benjamin? You guys are not professional chess players. Joel Benjamin is. Was he a little bit more disappointed in the purity of the game, considering that he is a chess Grandmaster?

MURRAY CAMPBELL: He didn't mention any problems. You take the win however you get it, and --

MAURICE ASHLEY: Sounds like Joel.

MURRAY CAMPBELL: He's pretty practical about such things.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: I must say for myself, obviously I have won games that I most assuredly didn't deserve. My opponent may have forgotten about the fact that his flag was hanging or something happened and I blundered into victory, and I certainly celebrated quite well after such a win. Yourselves, what's the mood of the team? You're looking at 1-1 in the best-of-six match. Philadelphia, history is repeating itself, victories in games one and two by both sides. You've got four games left. Are you going to drine any draws this year?
