It is my opinion that Kasparov should play Deep Blue. Why? Because that is what the audience is interested on. If you log on ICC when there is a lecture about GK-DB you can see lots of people listening there. I would say more people that the Khalifman-Leko game or any human-human game. So the interest is there. Kasparov will find it difficult to find the money to defend his title against a human. In fact, the Kasparov-Shirov match didn't occur and probably Kasparov-Anand match won't occur. People are interested on GK-DB above any other thing and it is difficult and foolish to fight the market. Chess, except for a few years, has always been a sport with no money in. If Kasparov was WC of any other sport he would be making much more than he is right now. So, the interest is on GK-DB and Kasparov probably won't be able to fight against that. Having said this, I understand Kasparov attitude of not helping Hsu find money to fund his machine. Hsu wants to wrest the WC away from Kasparov. He shouldn't expect any help from Kasparov himself to accomplish this.
