chess is a very strange game when played by humans .one thing there is a huge
phycological factor when you are dealing with people .if kasparov were a machine
he would have a much better chance to win .kasparov is very dangerous when he is
leading a match .but the resistance has been much stiffer than he expected .he
has not been able to turn things around so his confidece is badly shaken .i have
seen things like this happen once a person is beaten in there mind its over same
thing happened vs deep blue .kasparov met stiffer resistance and he folded like
a noodle .thats  to me what makes computers so tuff they dont get down when they
make a mistake or lose a game .so with this in mind kasparov has very little
chance of turning this around . he were 10 years younger he could have done it
.but as a person gets older you lose some of your will power .
