Folks, do you think Kasparov wants to be known as the guy who "terribly bluners", particularly after the recent losses to Karpov, and Radjabov? Kasparov is a HORRIBLE actor. He cannot pretend he feels one way when he feels another way. As a matter of fact, most people hate him because he IS so sincere in his emotions and in his outbursts. The loss was a genuine upsetness, he lashed out at the arbeiter for pete sake. As far as money, compare the pot of that match with past matches he's taken part of. Certainly he had something to prove for settling so low (relatively low for the rest of us....ahem). Kurt also had a good point. Would chessbase knowingly walk into a line where Fritz made itself look like a beginner? Would that increase revenue do you think? "I want that program who doesn't know how to play closed positions." The decisions in opening lines throughout the match look very logical and consistent. Garry got a good position in game one, so they play a6 later with black. Also, Garry had mentioned he was planning to play for a win with the Sicilian against 1. e4 in the final game! However, the computer surprised him with 1. d4 and he was afraid they had something prepared (like another Kramnik line) so he went for the safe Queen's Gambit Accepted. Those are REAL decisions made by grandmasters. When they're surprised they want to head to safety. The computer's choices are the ones that led to the draw. Garry just played good moves with black in the final game. There's more evidence suggesting it wasn't staged than if it was. This topic is solely fueled by paranoia. This forum has a lot of that, let me tell you.
