Go up one level in this thread


Then again, he knows he's the champ where humans are concerned, and he can play
for the millions many times over during the next decade without playing Deep
Blue again.

But if he does play Deep Blue again, and he loses, doubt about whether he's the
best dissolves, because the excuses are gone (he freaks out under the pressure,
he just had an off tournament, etc), and now he's second best.

That could throw a wrench into the millions that are GUARANTEED if he DOES NOT
play Deep Blue.

Why risk it?
