I don't think it is fear as you are proposing it.  I think it is fear for
having to put forth the incredible mental effort he had to use to avoid
the tactical teeth of Deep Blue.  The game he won in round 1 could have
_easily_ been lost... and probably would have been lost by any but the top
couple of players in the world.  White had some interesting tactical problems
to solve, and he did.  But at a great cost of concentration-type energy.

IE Hsu said he doubt he could be motivated to re-design the chip without some
sort of sponsorship and another Kasparov match to motivate him. I can understand
that.  When I did Crafty's parallel search, I did _not_ want to expend the
amount of time I did in Cray Blitz.  I wasn't up to that level of long-term
concentration of effort...

I think that is his problem with another match.. the dreading of expending that
much mental effort again...
