I don't mean to seem overly sceptical, or 'anti-Kaspy', but do you suppose these most recent GM/comp matches are rehearsed, right down to the last move? Let's consider: If the GM were to trounce the comp, then there would be no interest in further matches, because the comps are'nt seen as worthy opponents just yet. If the comps trounce the GMS, then again no interest, because the comps have established themselves as the superiors, in which case there's little incentive to keep buying the latest versions. Now with drawn matches, the interest is kept alive. Sort of like a soapy on TV, keep the suspense high and they will keep coming back to watch. And this, hopefully, will translate into healthy sales.
