Also worth noting that IBM stock price increased by $2Billion after defeating Kasparov. So they have had everything to gain by beating him at whatever cost.

Stock prices going up have nothing to do with the incentives of companies and everything to do with the availability of information.

It'd be like a gumball machine trying to make itself more valuable. Just sell more gumballs at a hirer price.

The incentive of public companies is everything to do with stockprice, as it is the primary metric to rate the performance of a company? What does information availability have anything to do with the value of a company?
