Jouni,

Either Kasparov is losing his touch or he is deliberately letting his guard down
to hold the audience in suspense.  He knew that this game would end in a draw
with best play on his part. A well-placed blunder certainly increases the
general audience's interest. Since this is not a contest for his rating I know
that Gary doesn't care whether he wins or loses. He is certainly a good actor.
Gary is earning his money.

It is true that most chess players start to burn out by their 40s. Chess
computers only get better.

PS I doubt that any of the masters at this site would even get one point out of
four against Fritz X3D on the quad machine.
