IIRC he won a game against a computer with the berlin once, so i'm not so sure if you are right about black's winning chances being very low, at least against the computer. and it's the kind of position where a computer might just do something really stupid :-) for the kasparov match kramnik will definitely have prepared the scottish very well too. aloha martin
