I've waited for that one for years! The point is this. All these stars get much
money but then? They also do something for their own education to make a good
appearence in public! But with Kasparov, ok, he also gets new clothes, but he
simply can't change his speech center! I counted just a few incredible
statements and contradictions. Perhaps that is Aserbeidjan culture, who knows,
but you normally don't insult you partners who organized such a bunch of money.
Look, in 97 I was pro Kasparov because I found the second game till now strange.
But what he now told us about the 6th game and here about the first three games
is crap. 97 crap: If he were out why he still made such experiments in the
opening. 2003 crap: If the games were won then why Kasparov didn't win? The
whole question is nonsense of course because I know why he didn't win. Because
he's paid for a promotion. But his argumentation is incredible. Perhaps, just
perhaps,  he really thinks that must say such nonsense to appear as a real
fighter against the comp team when in real they are all buddies. Either way
round it's a cheat. Arrogant cheat. Because let the knowies know, but don't give
such a schizo appearence so that everybody gets confused included Kasparov! LOL

I mean show bizz is like show bizz. But don't take experts for a ride and
worship an average program as a new heroe with GAMES who speak their own
language, namely that Kasparov again wasn't prepared and was not willing to win
or draw.
