He is probably the greatest chess player who ever lived (silicon is not alive) based upon both tournament and match performance. This remains true without regard to whatever dashed hopes anyone wishes to project upon him. I might make bold to add that the kind of determined obsesive personality which is requesite to become someone like Kasparov probably does not lend itself to represent "humanity." Failure is not in his vocabulary and the kind of psychological behavior necessary to vanquish a human opponent could well be counter-productive to killing the best machines. don't be angry about his draw.
