The shame was, had he continued, he'd have won! That does indeed frustrate me but Kasparov didn't know DJ was going to blunder and make it easy for him. The way the draw was reached, was more than fair IMO! I only sypathize, that it was indeed annoying when we were expecting Kasparov to try and win, and even more so as it was televised. But such as life. TM
