My impression is that public interest in chess outside the limited chess circles is declining, especially the media interest. One of the reasons is Deep Blue and its vicory over the best human chess player. If you want proof, make a poll. >What is the reason that the BGN needs kasparov to survive? BGN is a commercial venture, which depends on publicity. I merely doubt that any chessplayer besides Kasparov has that kind of reputation and karisma to sell tickets. We could make a bet on how long BGN will exist? Mogens.
