It would be easy for someone like Oak Ridge Lab to buy the DB processors from IBM, put 'em in their 128 node SP2, and then challenge him. Would he refuse since it would now just be "Deep Blue" as opposed to "IBM's Deep Blue"? Is there really any doubt that what Hsu would build would be stronger than the current Deep Blue, after the details he revealed a year ago? This sounds like Kasparov is simply not interested, which is certainly perfectly ok. But he ought to at least _stop_ mentioning how much he would like to play another match, since that suddenly stops ringing completely true, in light of recent revelations.
