But when you >convince me that it is ridiculous, then I think I'm not stupid much. Thank you. The rules say simply that Kramnik wins because the organizers think that if there is even 0.1% chance that kramnik does not win the match it is not interesting. This is the only reason that I can find for all these strange rules that say even that Deep Fritz's book cannot be changed between games by more than 10 plies. It is totally unimportant if kramnik can use Deep Fritz after 60 moves because I predict that kramnik is going to win most of the games in less than 60 moves We can probably learn nothing from the match unless chessbase decided to use some trick (for example to let Deep Fritz to play in a different way only in the dates of the match).
