I don't see how he can use that >as an excuse, what kind of a player is he if he can't win from a won positione? You got it! That is the whole question! But Kasparov seems not being aware of the contradiction! That frightens me. Could it be that his supernatural vice is getting on him? Perhaps supported by his mother Klara? Perhaps he wanted to play because she is going for shopping. >Strange kind of argument, but I think that is what happened. > >I think the games so far has shown that the programs still have room for some >improvement, but apparently even with all of their current weaknesses they are >able to match the best. Quite a scary thought actually. Not so scary if you have in mind what a weak player Kasparov is, when he can't win won positions! :) > > >> Because >>he's paid for a promotion.

What Alburt said? I guess that is what real expert are thinking. Playing comps is like playing a talented kid in a simul. Is that for you a World Championship Game too? > why is he >putting down the program so much? You got it again. That is why I'm so upset about his attitude. Isn't it a scandal? I think this. Directly after a game it's for many in sport impossible to relativate. They are still on adrenaline and are furious or depressive to death. That is like a psychiatric attack. I think I am the first who discovered that in Kasparov. 1997 I didn't consider that possible interpretation but actually I can no longer deny it. It's a fact. His reasoning is on the level of a very smart and talented child without internal logic of course. I see no other interpretation for such incredible nonsense and impoliteness. >Shouldn't he have said "this program is way >better than Deeper Blue, go buy it, even I am having great trouble with it"? Yes that was already done prior to the games.

He's a macho from the South. Always very dramatic. But surely in his selfperception very honest. > >It is not that I haven't thought about it, boxers do it all the time in the >press conferences, but I believe Garry is for real here. He's now in that same trap he was in in 1997. He wants to be a heroe, he is an actor, but apparently that costs him part of his ability to judge things. In Prague for instance, where he played just for fun only to then make a political coup with FIDE he was much more himself. But if he had to play for winning in Prague, he would perhaps had created his own FIDE again. Don't expect me to give a fair judgement, I'm not a clair voyant. I just count one and two together. :) > >Consider that he lost to DB and have waited 6 years for resurrection, he is not >going to blow this if he can do anything about it. His name in the history books >is at stake here, his gigantic ego simply won't allow him to throw a match like >this one, even for 1 mill. I doubt that he has room for such thoughts. Eternity is already assured. That doesn't depend on the actual show. But I fear Garry is misinterpreting the importance of these hundreds of thousands of dollars. Let's speak it out. Compared to his real importance such a sum is a joke. Hollywood actors get 20 million dollars. Tiger Woods gets Garry's sum every three days. Nobody really cares what Kasparov does in that 28th floor in that Athletic club. Freaky at best. That is the sad truth about chess in the USA. So Garry is happy that he can write on the internet for millions of chess playing experts in Russia! But USA is just the site with the money source. Sad but true. Semi-famous people are engaged to attend the event and they do it like another talk show gig. It's so sad. Rolf Tueschen > >-S
