I believe he has conceded the point that computers are superior to humans at G/25, hence not wanting to play Fritz 6 under those conditions. And I think he's conceded the point that a computer can be built that will crush him at 40/2, despite his claims of IBM cheating. All that's left is playing against PC programs at 40/2 where he can still win. When that goes away, he will regret not taking up Hsu on his offer and getting a million bucks. At this point I'm rooting for Deep Junior to beat him in the upcoming Club Kasparov event. :) Then he'll be reduced to "single processor only PC software at 40/2". Reminds me of the old Dr. Seuss book, I Can Lick 30 Tigers Today (for those who don't know this one - a guy claims he is tough enough to beat up 30 tigers, then when the tigers appear, he ends up eliminating them all from contention through assorted excuses. :) ) Maybe his friend Amir will use a dumbed down version of Deep Junior just in case? ;)) We should demand the printouts to be sure. :))
