Whatever happened to the Kasparov who was going around the world telling everyone that he enjoyed new challenges? What happened to the Kasparov who said that he would "tear deepblue to shreds" if given a rematch? Is it at all possible that Kasparov talked all the big words because he expected that IBM would deny him the rematch, Now that Hsu has come forward with the match proposal, kasparov has tucked his tail between his legs and runs like a coward. I think he knows just how strong deepblue was, and expects it to be even stronger. I think he is simply afriad he will lose and look foolish in front of the world, And his legacy would then not be the greatest player the world has seen, but like spaasky(lost to fisher) he will be the one remember for losing to a computer.
