Subject: Angst or Millions of Dollars?

As you know I keep you informed about elaborations from GM Huebner too. Actually
at http://www.chessbase.de/nachrichten.asp?newsid=2088 he created a fantastic
myth about Kasparov's "Angst" (fear resp. anxiety) in front of a machine.
Huebner comments on certain incredible and weak moves in the match Kasparov vs
Deep junior.

This time I can close the chapter much more rapidly than when Huebner commented
on his own draw in Dortmund against Fritz two years ago.

Huebner is a funny guy. Although he's playing in almost all Leagues in Europe
(Germany, Austria, Switzerland etc.) to make some money and although Kasparov
got almost a million dollars in advance for his showing up in NY, Huebner
forgets to mention the aspect of MONEY. FUNNEY!

He quotes William Tell the Swiss Hero instead. Making the readers believe that
modern chessplayers are heroes who play chess for the honour NOT for the MONEY.

However - the article is still valuable. Because the positions Huebner explains
are proof for Kasparov's intentionally weak play. Period.
