Maybe this has been asked and answered, but I was wondering if anyone has heard
the results on how well the Kasparov vs. Fritz match was received on TV?

It was a draw... (Sigh)

Game 4 drawn, match finishes tied 2-2
X3D Fritz tempted Garry Kasparov to enter a variation that had worked for
him before. Kasparov declined the machine's ploy and played through sharp
complications to reach safe harbor and a draw with the black pieces. After
27 moves there was total equality and simplifications and the draw was
agreed.

Nov. 18, 2003 – Game four ended in a draw and with it the X3D Man-Machine
World Chess Championship match also ended in draw. X3D Fritz won game two,
Kasparov won game three, and games one and four were drawn. Kasparov
receives $175,000 for the result and also takes home the golden trophy.
(Although since it drew the match X3D Fritz said it was going to store a
virtual reality copy of the trophy for itself.)

Ryan was asking about the TV ratings, not the result of the match.
