What did they gain from the previous match? Hydra did not become commercial. Is there a single company that sells more products thanks to the success of hydra. I also never understood what IBM earned from the match of deep blue that they could not earn from a rematch after they won. If we talk about advertisment then people could read about deep blue in the newspaper regardless of the final result and I doubt if there is a single human who buy from IBM when the result is 3.5-2.5 for IBM against kasparov and stop to buy from IBM if the result is 3.5-2.5 for kasparov in a rematch.
