He created pivot points for media interest, try to keep it interesting, with chess there's always something to write about
If they are the actual Deep Blue processor software data sheets showing how it chose each move? Why did it take years to release? I dont think they can be trusted and Kasparov(bless him) suffered a great depression ever after eh....

The same article reproduced in a variety of places (as many bits of journalism are) doesn't mean he wrote it in the first place. I'm not disputing that the article is being published under his name. I'm saying it's hightly doubtful he was the original author.

He is the author. The paper was written by him in response to the book
"Chess Metaphors"
I'm not sure how many ways he needs to take credit for his work before you decide he
really did do it; but its pretty clear he is the author. Huffington post and the Times
aren't in the habit of getting something so silly incorrect.

I hope I'm not wrong about this, but I think I remember reading Mig Greengard say that he sometimes helps write Garry's speeches. Maybe he also helps with his book reviews? IDK

It's common practice for sportsmen/celebs/politictions to have ghost writers. Theres no doubt that the article contains Kasparov's thoughts and ideas. But as for it being written by him without outside help... well... maybe, but I dont think so. Same goes for his published books.
No one wants a genius to come across as a idiot just because they cant construct a coherent sentence. Look what happened to me:-)
