A VERY GOOD AND CORRECT CONCLUSION!

Kasparov has 3 options
  - play great aggressive games that get a lot of
    attention and win with 3.5 - 2.5

  - be forced to give it a 3-3

  - feel obliged to serve the junior team better
    than Kramnik felt obliged to serve fritz, so lose
    with 3.5 - 2.5 from Junior

I hope he goes for the first option of course. In general
most GMs and IMs i spoke to lately, short after the match,
they assume Kasparov will make it a big spectacle the match
and go for 3.5 - 2.5 for himself. Of course he risks some
by making it a big spectacle. As we know, computers usually
aren't bad in tactical spectacles...
