i have a strong suspicion we have not seen the last of Kasparov's playing
something tells me if he is offered big money to play a match against a human or
a computer he will play and be armed as usual with new novelties in the opening

i have followed his career for 25 years
i have never seen him turn away from money,the only differnce today is he will
require big money
