End of the story.
So you say yes the train of thought was the same?

Hide the fact that cheated?
IBM was interested in publicity, not chess. I guess this explains why no rematch but doesn't explain why they took the computer apart.
My question would be if they duplicated Deep Blue today would it be the best engine out there.
By extension, have humans developed at least past Deep Blue?
Did the programmers for Deep Blue have the same mindset as Fischer when they took the machine apart? Do you think they beat Kasparov and were afraid of losing in a rematch like Fischer was afraid of losing the title World Chess Champion?
