Commentary for black move 28:

And my question for you as a world champion yourself is do you find that this kind of paranoid thinking is more common at the very top levels of chess than it is among the rest of the population, and have you ever found any kind of paranoia creeping into your own thoughts in dark moments?

DB MOVE: 28...Qd6

MAURICE ASHLEY: Before you answer the question are there any psychics helping Deep Blue, the move Qc7-d6 has been played, controlling the open d-line, a very standard move. Susan, if you want to answer the question.

SUSAN POLGAR: Well, I don't know if I'll answer the question correctly.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: When you played your world championship match, did you have any fears that -- were you paranoid that something weird, organizers were helping your opponent or things weren't nice for you or those kinds of questions.
