Sure, thats exactly why I wanted to know how come it's never happened. I would
think that programmers of the top programs would like to see this as well. As I
said in a previous post, short matches mean nothing. A six game match, if you
lose once, all you have to do is draw the rest of the games to back in to a
victory. A 24 game match, you may have to win a little more than 1 or 2 to win
the match. The one I'd REALLY like to see would be Kasparov against the best
program in the world in a first to win 6 draws not counting. But thats somewhat
of a fantasy.

Regards,
Jeff
