ROTFL!

You don't even understand Bruce's point, as you are talking about Game 6 and
_any_ chessplayer with a bit of knowledge, knows Black stands better after Rxc3!

It's a bloody thematic move, for crying out loud!

Kasparov really could have pushed for the win, but opted for the draw, as he
wanted to quit in a better position, showing I can outplay this thing, but why
take a risk of a blunder against a computer after 80 moves in which it would
take to win with Black!

Boy you're dense!

I'm sure Bruce would mop the "board" with you!
