Come on, do you really think this would determine who the "real" champion of the
world is? Karpov is over the hill, while still very strong, is no match for
kasparov or anand (fide world ko in '97 was complete farce and anand was
exhausted). Deepest blue is dismantled. Even if Karpov was still at moderate
strength and deepblue was in.. you are forgetting Kramnik and Shirov.. (who at
this point are probably better than Karpov). Also noone would really accept this
to find the world champion.. matches are the only "real" way of determining a
world champ..
