I think Kasparov might be one of the best two or three players of all time.
But in _that_ match with deep blue, I personally believe that if the match
had gone two more games, it would have been two more won games for DB.  Kasparov
"lost it" somewhere in the first 3-4 games and never recovered.  And I don't
believe he would have recovered unless there had been a month break in the
match which would not have happened.

The last two games of the match had him looking 'beaten' before he ever made
the first move.  I think it would be very difficult for him to 'come back'
with additional games, given the way he appeared to feel...
