I cannot decide (for my own opinion) whether Kasparov has great integrity since he sticks to his guns with his innuendos about cheating even though his position looks weak, or if he has a chink here in his armor concerning the DB team which prevents him from admitting that he is probably mistaken. If he is not mistaken, then it is a matter of sticking to his guns because he is correct versus not sticking to to his guns since he has no proof. A man with high integrity could pick either position. I have a feeling that it is somewhere in between all of these. Probably something of Kasparov getting the impression of cheating during the games and being unable to shake that impression (i.e. in denial), regardless of lack of proof. This would not imply that he is not a man of integrity, rather it would imply that he is human. It's unfortunate that the controversy started in the first place since I have great respect for both Kasparov and the DB team. In any case, it is now a relatively moot point. KarinsDad :)
