I would like to see the Chessbase contract for this match: $100,000 per game plus Gary's expenses, guarantee to play to a draw (not to be told to the public). Then Chessbase and X3D will check the TV ratings and project if their Christmas sales estimates were accurate while hoping the public thinks the match was for real. Chessbase would of course like to have X3D win but Gary would have none of that. It's bad enough when he has to explain why he could "only" draw with a Quad Opteron! :) Let's give Gary some credit for being a fine businessman and the best player in the world but I was a day time born baby but I wasn't born yesterday....... :) Then there will be hours of analysis with hundreds of "should haves" and "could haves," followed by everyone analyzing the games with their own programs, then everyone will load the games on their web sites for download. And in the end it all still comes out bullshit...... :)
