Like you, I thought Kasparov would win. When he didn't win, I thought it was
because he hadn't played very well. It is a breathtaking leap of logic to
immediately blame his poor form on Hsu et al. If your whole argument is
founded on your certainty that Kasparov was going to win, then you don't have
much of an argument, in my opinion.
