I believe that the algorithms of it were not world class and it was better than computers of that time thanks to better hardware inspite of inferior software. > >I particularly like the part where Kramnik says Fritz gives better moves then >Deep Blue did, WHEN KRAMNIK IS PLAYING Fritz7 ON A 600MHZ LAPTOP!!! <lol> Fritz can give better moves than Deeper blue gave and I believe that the kh1 instead of Kf1 in game 2 is an example for this.

It's a bunch of bullshit, but I admit I like it - it >stirs up interest and money for the match. Go Fritz, go V.K.!! Can't wait!! I agree that there is a hype here but the hype is not in saying that Fritz is better than Deeper blue but in implying that Fritz has good chances against kramnik when kramnik gets the program. I think that every result that is not convincing win for kramnik is a surprise under these conditions. Uri
