This is news to me. When did Kasparov snub Intel? I have read a number of
statements of his regarding Intel but I don't recall any of them snubbing Intel
(not even in a loose interpretation of the word). If you are seeking an
explanation to Intel's refusal to renew it's sponsorship of the Grand Prix
tournament series, you might be interested in Kasparov's piece entitled "Money
for Chess" at his site. Although it is not about the Intel affair it offers
excellent material for thought. http://www.clubkasparov.ru/club/int8e.htm
