Don't have a bible handy but I thought it was "all sorts of Evil" ? Maybe depends on the translation... Back to the original topic, I have no doubt Kasparov will be trying extremely hard to win the match. I have been lucky enough (not that I am a big fan) to see the guy playing live and the thing I remember most is the incredible intensity he showed at the board. Like he was attempting to will the pieces to jump up and rip your arms off. If you have that sort of competitive intensity I don't think you ever really lose it. >I Tim 6:10
