I wonder about this.  I sortof think a lonfger match would be in Garys
favor.  He always seemed able to play up to his competition and
ultimately surpass it.  His first marathon match with Karpov is a case
in point.  But he also pulled ahead late against Vishy and in his first
match against Deep blue.  I know he was younger in the karpov match but
I'm not sure that matters.  Since Deep blue plays so little I think he
would be able to learn as he goes against it.

Does anyone know if the chess games in the the first Karpov Kasparov
match got better earlier in the match or later?
