Still, never write off Kasparov, remember he managed to retain the title, with a last gap win against Karpov once before in the very last game!..So a one game deficit is small to say the least.. But still I think Kasprov is in more danger now of losing them ever before..I think given that Kasparov has often stated that Kramnik is the most probable succuessor to him, it's more acceptable to his ego, if he loses.. Self-furfilling prophecy? Also, as some have pointed out, his "friendship" ? with his former student makes it difficult for hims to psyche himself up..
