No doubt about. Two things: (1) he wasn't "had" by IBM. He made a bunch of money, about $40,000 per hour for playing if I recall someone else's number. He set up the match stipulation for everything he wanted _before_ the match. _after_ the match he then had more requirements that he _wished_ he had asked for. But no one made him sign the contract... (2) Kasparov is probably by far the best _human_ player in the world. No doubt about it. :) Bob
