I can't argue with the fact that Kasparov is the main reason of interest for the
K-DJ match. But besides that, there are plenty of other reasons (as Uri
mentioned) for justifying why K-DJ is and has to be more important. In addition,
the Jerusalem match is sponsored and endorsed by FIDE and ICCA, the highest
chess and computer chess organizations; in the contrary, K-DF's match is a
"losers" match in a forgotten place, sponsored by oil-millionaires...
