And why is Kasparov playing a line that seems to be a hopeless draw when he is
behind by 2 points? And why did he offer a draw after 11 moves the other day,
why does he look so helpless, etc. This has nothing, nothing to do with the
Kasparov we know. After the draw offer in 11 moves I read that he has personal
problems he would explain after the match. I can't see any other way to explain
all that.
