Whatever happened to playing chess, the time they spend debating all this, they
could be playing the games. I think people are pretty used to Kasparov ducking
and weaving his way out of everything. He likes to make his own rules and he
seems to get away with it.

Kasparov will be regarded as number one for the next ten years, simply due to
the fact that he will always play someone who is weaker, and avoid playing
anyone who may beat him, in regard to title matches.

Sooner you all realise this the sooner you can all move on.
