Kasparov vs. Deep Junior
Anyone catch this? Looks like Kasparov lost his nerve right at the end. He seemed to have a clear advantage over Junior but decided to first offer and then accept a draw. It's tough to say the greatest chess player was afraid but his post match interview would seem to show he was. He said against a human he would have played on and won the match but knew if he made one mistake against the computer he would lost. And his goal coming in was "not to lose."
Sounded like a soccer match. He's still the greatest.
