Who am I. He's the one with the mouth and always >making lame excuses OR just in it for the money and then saying,"It's us verse >the machines. I mean look at the drawn match verse Junior. He states, "From a personal perspective, I still think I'm capable of beating machines. When I played Deep Junior in New York I was under very heavy pressure - and I had less than 2 weeks of preparation. I think I was dominating the match before I chose to go for a draw. What was positive was that it was human mistakes that actually helped the machine to tie the match. When I played good moves I was dominating. It was my big mistakes that changed the match." so we see here, I only had 2 weeks, blah,blah, whine,whine,whine. Read further abouth the mistakes,... like I kind of think that is a factor in any match so drop that line. Now let's look at the DB match. Human intervention! That looked ridiculous. his latest escapade was RADJABOV beating him in the Linares 2003 tournament: http://www.geocities.com/MIGHTORS1/Radjabov/kasparov-Radjabov_linares2003.html More excuses, more pride. Remember in a game he touched a piece with Polgar and then in his OWN self-worth never followed through and do the right thing. Polgar had enough repsect for him that she didn't complain about it. He says one thing but does another and his actions show it too, Just admit your human because you are and let it go at that. I am not here to paste the GK but you have to look at the whole spectrum of things and get a view of the real person which is not to hard to see. Get someone else like Anand. You never hear him moaning and groaning and making excuses. get someone with some integrity. I won't even get into the breakoff from FIDE and then his abandoning his own group.
