But you haven't included any of his great achievments, and the list is very long! BTW no one becomes as _great_ as Kasparov, if they didn't _love_ the game! Yes money plays a role, it does for _all_ GM's and IM's but to be the best, money alone can't get you there, that's a fact! Is your "Weeds" and "Thorns" analysis noble? No, it's not!
