Not that he should, but IF so, the stipulation should be that it will certainly be the last if he does not win it. The way things are now, even if will liose next time, no one will think anything of it. OK then, so when he lost to Deeper blue, he claimed so strongly that it was unfair. So? what happened? So he was given another chance against probably an even weaker opponent (after he had vowed to tear Deep blue to shreds in its next upgrade. OK so he drew, and that was a big enough warning sign that he cannot keep his vow of revenge to a computer. But what? atleast it wasn't a loss! So maybe he deserved ONE more chance, in which if he doesn't win, that's IT! Atleast to win, and not draw again. We thought that by now, Kasparov had plenty enough chance to get his act together, if he REALLY is the greatest human player in history. All his knowledge when applied properly, should certainly be able to crush the machine, or atleast WIN the match. If he simply wins by even half a point, no one can really fault him. But ATLEAST that.(don't forget how Susan Polgar and her rival were threatened when they didn't play risky enough chess!) If Ksparov would publicly accept the challenge to win by atleast half a point, or be a failiure, that might be the last idea to try one last time, in the hope it might be a worthy match! (Who knows, maybe he WAS offered that, and refused. But now, if he refuses, we shouldn't run after him any more) S.Taylor
