I just checked this in Wikipedia. According to Wiki:Originally Posted by Орчун
Kasparov asked to see the log files but this was declined. Why would anyone with a CLEAR conscience deny access to the log files? If they were fine, then it would have further supported their case. The reason they didn't do it was clearly because their had been human interaction with the computer during the game.
Secondly, Kasparov asked for a re-match which they declined. Again, obvious: In a rematch there would be an observer checking what was happening with the computer, and the computer would have had to play with pure processing power ONLY, instead of maximum processing power PLUS the best dishonest elite chess player that IBMs money can buy....
No wonder he became disillusioned when he realised he'd been scr*d over with no way of proving it, and no way to get a rematch.
Nobody who is a lover of chess or admires Kasparov ought to buy anything from IBM!
