Subject: Kasparov, Botvinnik, and Computer Chess

What would happen if Kasparov were to follow Botvinnik's footsteps and become
genuinely interested in improving computer chess?

What if:

(1)  Professor Hyatt and a team of the top chess engine programmers were to give
Kasparov an intensive short course [24 hours per day for 6 months] in chess
engine programming and Kasparov were to become addicted to chess engine design?

(2)  Kasparov were to then become pro-active in trying to help the chess engine
programmers to improve their chess engines?

Generally, it has already been established here that relatively weak
chessplayers can produce strong chess engines.  But what could Kasparov, in
partnership with the likes of Hyatt, produce?

Maybe the recent mistakes made by Fritz and Junior would not happen anymore.

What do you think?
