He may not want to scare away possible sponsors, sponsors in the computer-industry maybe. Also a match against Hsu's chip would still be associated with IBM and IBM wouldn't like it because they claim that the technology for Deep Blue is somehow part of their super-computers (it isn't). And there were already rumors that the "Microsoft match Kasparov against the World" scared away other computer-industry sponsors for a match against Anand. So maybe that has something to do with it. For instance Hsu's chip will definitely be Non-Intel as things stand now...Maybe Hsu should go to Intel with some "blue"-prints.. I do think that Kasparov wants to defend his title, against Anand preferably. Just an opinion. Eelco
