At least at Dortmund, only Kramnik used anti-computer play. Bareev threw away a pawn in a move designed to "confuse" the computer that he knew would never confuse a human. It is quite possible DJ's performance would not go up at all (at least in this event) if the players did not know they were playing a computer. James > >Ujecrh
