If Anand doesn't go...I sure hope someone has the good sense to offer an
invitation to GM Judit Polgar! I would DEARLY love to see a Kasparov vs
Polgar rematch. The last time they played against each other was that
controversial one in 1994 when Kasparov moved the wrong knight. I'm sure
GM Polgar has a long memory.

For all the gushing you do about Judit (nothing wrong with that in
itself), you should certainly know that that was NOT the last time they
played, and that Judit has even managed a win against The Beast since
then.

Correct. Here's Judit's win over Kasparov from 2002 at the Chess Olympiad.
