At what point in that game did you believe that black had a chance? It looked like a total thrashing to me.
Is Kasparov gloating over David Letterman's retirement?

I think he's joking :)

A link to a Youtube tape of the tenth move of the game which was played in 1990. (Kasparov is on at the 22 minute point of the video.) The game was played correspondence style with Kasparov calling in from various points around the world.
Letterman was actually pretty funny.
After David Letterman almost kicked Kasparov's ass, Kasparov has felt quite threatened by Dave. So he must feel considerably relieved now that David Letterman has retired from the Late Show after 33 years.
