No one else had the opportunity to challenge DB. >If Karpov had defeated Kasparov (if Kasparov hadn't left FIDE) then Karpov >would have been playing DB and not Kasparov... I know that. It is only understandable that Kasparov would be invited. (He is the best by far than anyone). My point was more subtle.. he tackled an unknown beast when there was a lot of risk. IBM did everything to trip him up.. which grandmaster plays another one without having analysed his/her opponents games? IBM team examined (with a tooth comb I am sure) all of garry's games, while garry had almost nothing to go by. As for Karpov playing DB, that's ludicrous. He is easy meat even for weak GMs. With or without Fide, Kasparov is the supreme player (ever). We don't need titles and organizations to know this. He destroys everyone; again and again, everywhere. Likes of karpov can hang on to their "titles."
