Was just wondering how come so many chess personalities are simulated
with Chessmaster, but not Kasparov...

I have no idea what the specific reasons were. Ubi Soft management told
us to remove the Kasparov personality from CM9000, so we did.

Oh. Well, when you said the truth was "obvious," I thought you meant I
should be able to figure it out, but as I said, I don't see how it's any
different than including Fischer or Polgar or anyone else living.

In this case, the truth is pretty obvious -- there were legal reasons.

Well, I kinda figured that, but what were the legal reasons with
Pasparov that don't exist with Fischer, Spassky, Polgar, Karpov, etc?
