Therefore? others can try to take up the matter and ask Mr. Hsu to hang on
a bit?
  All these unaccepted challenges can't be helping morale very much.
If many people honestly don't see Kasparov himself as being world champion
then that can't be very helpful to his morale either.Why should he keep
fighting when people are just laughing?
  I don't even understand why Fisher is not still world champion-in truth.
But failing that, how can it not be Kasparov? He beat fide champion Karpov
and if fide can own a title, it's certainly not that of world chess champion
by implication. certainly not after what they did to suzan Polgar.
   I never saw this being discussed.
  Anyway it seems wrong for Kasparov to ignore a deep-blue acceptance of
challenge now. Even though the best human computer player might be Anand.
