I think you're right.  Kasparov has once again encountered a player -- this time
human -- whom he can not intimidate.  So he will lose and then make a lot of
excuses.  Just look at the comments on his website, which claims that the player
who has White on Sundays is at a disadvantage in the match.  Kasparov could have
dictated any terms he wanted for this match.  For him (or his flunkies) to now
begin insinuating that he is losing because of unfair match conditions is truly
disgusting.
