If only Kasparov had the advantage of making a move, then two minutes
later saying "Did I actually commit to that move? No, that's obviously
wrong. I meant *this* move." And then, 30 seconds later, amending with
"Er, actually I meant *this* move." That would have kept Deep Blue busy
in much the same way as DrDr.
