Doesn´t he have to beat Deep Blue (or his successor if there is any) first before he can be declared world chess champion?

In his old days he became an opponent to the doping tests introduced to the sport (in order to get chess into the olymic games). My favorite qoute from him:Originally posted by East Street Trader

There's a mathematician who took amphetamines and claimed that he can do without them, but mathematics would suffer as a result.Comment

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Erdős
His colleague Alfréd Rényi said, "a mathematician is a machine for turning coffee into theorems", and Erdős drank copious quantities. (This quotation is often attributed to Erdős, but does seem to originate with Rényi.)[3] After 1971 he also took amphetamines, despite the concern of his friends, one of whom (Ron Graham) bet him $500 that he could not stop taking the drug for a month. Erdős won the bet, but complained that mathematics had been set back by a month: "Before, when I looked at a piece of blank paper my mind was filled with ideas. Now all I see is a blank piece of paper." After he won the bet, he promptly resumed his amphetamine habit.Comment

Russians pwns everyone in chess, the end of story. It's a law, God damn it.
p.s. And Kasparov a politician is a shame of Russia(aside of Kasparov a Soviet chess champion). And Kasparov a historian is total joke and a shame of entire humanity
