I must admit that I find the subject; will Kasparov and another Deep Blue
Something ever create enough interest for a rematch, uninteresting to the point
of boredom. But others might feel differently.

I think I've found an appropriate analogy for the hyped matches between Kasparov
and Deep Blue. It would be somewhat similar to making a journey to Mars in an
advanced spaceship, plant a flag and go home, and then upon return to earth,
chop up the spaceship and hide the pieces. The spaceship engineers then spend
most of their time snickering, while amateur engineers try to reach for the
moon. The public don't care if someone manages to reach the moon, because
they've already seen Mars.

Best wishes...
