There's a _very_ good chance that Kasparov doesn't stand a chance in a rematch,
I think he slipped up under pressure on the last match, and at that point, I
don't beleive that the Deeper Blue match was a sure win for IBM.

His ego was bruised.  That last match was very significant to both the Chess
world, and the computer Chess world.  History.  And the impact was felt beyond
those of us who enjoy Chess.  It was big news, not unlike watching the war in
Viet Namm on TV during the '60s, big stuff (maybe not _that_ big, but big)
