When the world finally went wrong and played against her advice, it was a decisive mistake. If I remember, her recommended move would obviously give up any chance of winning in order to keep drawing chances, while the chosen move kept a passed pawn but led to a position that Krush and other strong players knew to be losing. To the world’s average players, even with the analysis tree, it must have seemed better to retain apparent winning chances – even though there really were not any winning chances at all by that stage.

So clearly even though a collaborative effort can produce excellent results, there exists a possibly of an irrational choice.

Umansky won the 50WCJT tournament against the other world champions without losing, so has some claim to be the strongest correspondence player ever.

The match didn’t have any influence on the sport aspect of chess game, but scientific. On the other hand, due to global mass phenomena, I think that chess is losing its artistic component- but that issue couldn’ be solved with this initial conditions (Kasparov-Other World). I think men should have found a proper measure between popularization of chess and keeping up the Complexity of chess game (including its artistic component, which is incorporated into the Complexity of the game).
Mass media and mass communications couldn’t make breakthrough in this area of human heritage- the popularization of the game might make countra effect.
I think that if the initial conditions of the game had been different (not to choose players from all chess levels, but a few adequately selected (of course, from the World top)), and with proper decision making criterion for a chess move (with measure of accuracy required in Quantum Cryptography decision making) , the whole strength of Kasparov’s opponent would have been much better expressive – probably he would have lost the game. It’s a great pitty that nowdays improvement of a young player (11-13) in the game of chess is not harmonized with the natural (given by human evolution) development of child’s mental abilities. The actual trends in the game of chess insist on short-term memory (fifteen years ago, when I was in that period of life, You must have hade high level of critical resoning and in some degree, the ability to estimate unknown position on Your own ,original way (this is an indication of chess talent).
The enormous flow of information and dominant role of computers in modern society has created that kind of problem (there are also big ecological problems connected with this).
The development of Quantum computers will resolve previous mentioned problems.
