Kasparov said "build the machine first", effectively destroying the possibility to do so since the sponsorship would have to come first, and that depended on Kasparov's agreement. In his comments during today's game, Mig mentioned that BrainGames had lined up a computer to play a match against the winner of Kasparov - Kramnik. Sounds rather tantalizing. Unless it's going to be Junior or Fritz on big hardware again, I doubt they are up to the task of winning a 40/2 match against the human champ just yet, but who knows. Since DB already defeated the human champ once, perhaps there is nothing left in the supercomputer vs. man game in terms of public interest or sponsorship, so it's now a matter of seeing when the top programs on big-but-commercial hardware can do the same.
