You are naive. What Kasparov did in game 6 was the worst he could do for our beloved game. Can you imagine a single TV station being interested in more of this stuff? >Now if we can get more matches televised, ... Unrealistic after what happened on Friday! Kasparov destroyed so many sponsoring tracks in chess: * in the mid-90's the Intel Grand Prix * in 97 the IBM interest * he was not able to make the Microsoft cooperation longlasting * now his "anti TV campaign" on Friday Forget him with his always jumping mind.
