Would you ask Kasparov whether he'll play a more serious match or matches against machines, in conditions better suited to play, IE on a real chess board, no gimmicks? I know he tried his best and outplayed X3D Fritz in every game, but unfortunately he didn't bring the score in his favour. That terrible blunder in Game 2 which isn't worthy to his talent, tainted the results. However, although it was a 2-2 tie, IMO with Game 3, Kasparov busted his opponent up!:o) I also feel in Game 4 Kasparov showed the computer, I can almost draw you at will, with Black no less. In a sense, he actually won! One other question, how does Kasparov feel about all the rumours that the match was fixed? This must be somewhat of a turnoff for him as he works hard to win, not play out some pre-arranged game ot games! Regards, Terry
