If IBM had a good head on their sholders they'd realize how much they profited from running the last match against Kasparov and cough up some large amounts of cash to make it happen. By nature though, IBM is a big slow moving monster, and I don't know if that's really posible for them to do, taking Kasparov's somewhat unpredictable tempermental nature. If Kasparov was generally more level headed, the whole thing would be easier to do (if he were also a big slow moving monster, Godzilla vs King Kong). Pete
