GM Ron Henley - A thematic crush in this Caro-Kann variation, for if 19...bxc4 (19...Nb4 20.Qxf5 wins) 20.Qxc4 Nb4 (20...Kb7 21.Qa6 mate) 21.Re1 winning. When Kasparov resigned after barely more than an hour's play, we realized in the press room that we had witnessed something unique in the history of chess.

GM Ron Henley - I cannot ever remember Garry suffering such a crushing defeat. Deep Blue has won the match 3.5-2.5! against the prediction of any of the grandmasters that I had spoken to before the match began.

GM Yasser Seirawan - With all due respect to the Deep Blue team, I think Garry simply made a finger fehler on move ...h6. I am stunned! I absolutely did not expect this result!

The Schröder BV - After the game Kasparov indeed said that he had mixed up 7.. h6?? and 7.. Bd6 being normal theory, see the Rebel 8.0 main book. We want to congratulate the Deep Blue team with this historic victory!
