And therefore you can reason properly and be a rocket chess scientist? What a hoax. People who publish their opinions here are discriminated as conspiracy theorists by you and you think that you can judge anything at all? Get real, man! Pride? If pride would guide him he wouldn't appear on press conferences like a mad kid. How could you judge that? Ego. A concept mostly misunderstood by lay. At least you should stop to insult people as xonspiracy theorist. Otherwise I call you an exorcist. Ok? > >If you think Kasparov is intentionally playing bad moves to keep the match >interesting, please point out the mistakes along with the clearly better move he >could have played. I can only think of 32. Rh5 and 33. Ng6+, both from game 3, >and the refutation is a fairly deep and complex line - the kind that even >Kasparov can miscalculate. Perhaps for your understanding of chess. But to Kasparov Nd4 is cake. Don't bother to answer my statement that the hedgehog without counter attack is a rotten egg! Thank you. Stop copying too much from what others said, begin to think on your own! Thank you. > >I think if you compare the quality of these games with the quality of his games >against top-level GMs, you won't find much disparity.

No, I know that you don't understand these games. Not different from his other GM games. LOL Rolf Tueschen > >-Peter
