Not cynical. I'm just talking about facts. What do you mean with blood brothers?
Nonsense. Garry is a bloodsbrother of his mother perhaps but not with someone
else. All chess masters are very ego maniacs.

You make a big mistake, Matt, not only with your wording. Being sick. You are
perhaps a bad chessplayer so that you can't imagine how Kasparov could all di at
the same time. There is no clear clack and white. Let me explain.

Of course he will and shall show them what their baby can do at best. But at the
same time he has to consider the marketing. What do you think, is DJ already a
GM? If that would be true they had no need to do some PR with Kasparov. But let
us assume that DJ is by far _not_ a GM, but perhaps in certain tactical regions
he is. Now Kasparov will show exactly this. He will win but he will also lose
due to tatical "misfortune". That is not cheating the public. It is exactly for
what he's paid for. If you suppose that Kasparov is paid for a clear 6-0
knockout then you are wrong. He's paid for his ability to let a chess game
between himself and a dull automat still look like a fantastic chess game.
Although in real the machine had no chance at all. For that talent Kasparov is
paid. And for his status that allowed a really big event with press and all. But
to all experts it's kind of nonsense because Kasparov is by far too strong for
such a product. But look again please, Kasparov lost already against the much
weaker program GENIUS 2! Kasparov also already lost against the weaker Fritz
number one or two. Today we have Fritz 8! Do you understand what I want to say?
