  Well I don't see why the ideal that Kasparov is afraid to play the computer
seems so rediculous to you? Didn't Kasparov just two weeks ago say publicly that
he did not want to play against fritz in frankfurt?  Didn't he Dodge the
Deepblue rematch? Seems to me the ideal that Kasparov is Afraid is the only
logical conclusion of this including his own words....."I well remeber my lost
to Genius3"
