He doesn't care about anybody except himself. ALL these >matches with a "self-serving" agenda are worthless. He never cared about the FIDE and look what happened their. There's 2 different WC's. GK is the highest rated but who's the WC? It all goes back to this "self-serving interest that no 1 wants to talk about but yet they say we have to be united and forge a common interest for chess, promote it, blah,blah. Here is the crux of all the problems. Those who can make a difference by taking the lead are arrogantly selfish and totally seeking their own interests. Most say,"Why do we have this problem promoting chess" whereas the real irony is the very ones trying to promote chess are really extolling themselves and their fat wallets. The common chessplayer scratches his head. Everyone gets all worked up about a "self-serving" human/machine when it really means nothing. There is a huge difference between IBM's promotion of a machine/human as oppossed to CB. IBM did make out in huge increases in stock prices. They made 10's of millions of dollars. Actually Vincent said this way before I seen anything in print. Imagine a third match and GK throttling Deep Blue 2. They'd lose millions as well. Pretty risky for them.
