If we look at this excellent play and punishing defeat for Fritz, we might well conclude that Kramnik will pound the stuffings out of Deep Fritz. But what if we look at the many drubbings that high level GM's have received at the hands of computers? I think Kramnik will win -- don't get me wrong. But if he makes any tiny mistake at any point in time, Deep Fritz will capitalize on it. What if his stock portfolio tumbles that day, or some reporter kept pestering him with irritating questions and he's seething over it? There are a lot of variables in a contest like this -- especially when a human is involved. I think (for instance) that Kasparov psyched himself out to a good deal. Will Kramnik do the same? Suppose that in the 1st game, Deep Fritz does something incredibly unexpected and wins quickly. Any chance that it might disturb Kramnik's thinking? Pointing to a single loss by Fritz (on a vastly inferior machine) and assuming that this is an indication of the entire match to come is faulty [IMO-YMMV]
