Kasparov does have reason to fear Deep Junior. What if he should lose to it?? That's a big loss of prestige. Yes he is the strongest player on the planet and probably would win easily but an upset is always possible. Deep Junior is pretty good but not in the same class as GK. I believe I saw him destroy Hiarcs 7.32 at game/2 the other day. It was not pretty if you are a computer fan. Jim Walker
