For those who are just speculating and don't really understand chess per se... you should understand one facet of the match that has been completely overlooked by the media. Kasparov outplayed the machine in ever single game, with no exceptions. In game 2, he reached a won position and blundered to a draw. In game 3, he reached a won position and slid to a draw only to blunder to a loss. In game 4 he reached a fighting position that ended in a draw because he was gunshy from the last game. In game 5 every copmuter engine to do analysis besides deep junior will claim white is better there. WHen a computer sacrfices material against you though... its very hard to play. He was right to accept the draw. He had absolute winning chances with no chance for a loss in game 6 and should be ashamed of himself for drawingr just so he wouildn't lose. The computer consistently played horrifyingly bad chess. The only thing that gives it strength is it doesn't tire like a human and dosn't make tactical mistakes... period.

Wow! You're a complete idiot. There is nothing else to say...except maybe that you read to much of Bobby Fischers paranoid ramblings.
