Yeah sure. :p Case "Junior wins" -The prize money was ridiculous anyway! (compared to the money he gets for just showing up) -It was just too much psychological stress for Kasparov before the match, since it was delayed soo many times -Unfair conditions! K didn't have exactly the version of J that he played against! -Unfair! The book was mean! :p -what not Case: "Draw" -The prize money was ridiculous (see above) -Kramnik probably payed him, so he(Kramnik) doesn't lose face -The sponsors payed Kasparov to draw the last game! -what not Case: "K wins" -Junior is not the best program against humans anyway! -The version of Junior was only beta-quality! Why didn't they use the well-tested Junior7!? -what not Anyway, I look forward to see the games too - if they ever play.
