Might be five years before there was a rematch. On the other hand, if he draws, then he guarantees a rematch, and more money in the long run. If he keeps drawing, there will be more rematches and more money every year or so. The humans get more money for making it more interesting. Kasparov knows this, too. You've got to hand it to them, they're smart ones, and not just at chess! Roger PS. I don't really believe this, but it sounds good. ;)
