Am I wrong ? I'm sure that issue was covered in the match contract. In computer chess events for nearly three decades prior to the event, adjustments made between games were permitted. Kasparov knew what he was doing, particularly in the second match after his experience with the first. Kasparov is being a sore loser and is unhappy because he didn't get a third match and the money that would have come with it. He's appears to be trying to help draw attention to himself for his political asperations that have nothing to do with chess, and he's making Valdimir Putin look good by comparison.
