After all these years, after many experiences with Kasparov, after much insight
about the ingenious F. Friedel from ChessBase, let me say this. And this is the
final truth! (However I knew it already in 1997 when a befriended _Super_ GM
sent me his commentary.)

If I take the whole game in its Ganzheit and its Sosein and its Wesenheit,
excuse the technical terms, but they alone describe the essentials, then I must
state that already the opening Kasparov had chosen PROVES beyond any doubt that
the whole game was a hoax or call it fake. Kasparov had chosen the possible only
variation of the Spanish Defense that puts Black forcedly into a dull defense
without ANY perspectives. That to begin with. So - it's already a hoax to even
speak of a DB2 that "outplayed" Kasparov. That is a typical neo-positivistic
hoax from our ingenious correspondent. It was the decion of Kasparov alone, that
defines the In-die-Welt-Geworfensein of this game "two".

To mention the recent hoax between Kasparov (again! whoelse??) and DEEP JUNIOR
this time, where the same twist took place. They said that NOT Kasparov played a
whole lot of bulk [some say bull] but DEEP JUNIOR played like a GM! That is
probably the same Gestalt as if I would tell you that after my Grandmother was
in Church and prayed, she came and danced Techno for 26 hours without going to
the loo even once. When in real I mixed her a cocktail of Speed and Acid into
her sleeping tea. Now who is the Deus ex machina? God or my Pills? The first who
gets me the right answer wins a week in Las Vegas, with pool, girls and all
inclusive. :)

I mean, give me break! Who believes Kasparov a single word, not to mention his
moves?

P.S.

Hyperbole in chess will lead into deflation! I wished Kasparov had a bit of
Rubinstein, who was cool. Kasparov is so indescribably importunate! Amnesty
International should also care about the slavery of his Mother Klara, the
(classical!) necessary sacrifice...
