Subject: 3.5-3.5 after 7 games is an ideal situation pro-comp and anti D.B.

Why? Because even if Kramnik wins the last game, It doesn't make it look like
Deeper Blue was really any better than Deep Fritz. And also, it shows computers
to be up at the top, and also gives Kasparov a big incentive to beat that result
vs. Deep Junior.
 If the end result were 3-5 to Kramnik, it wouldn't look so close. Now it's it's
almost a question of luck what happens in the one last game.
 The last game of Kasp.vs DB, the luck was on the DB side, because kasparov had
just gone to the end of his nerves.

Don't forget Kramnik had the program, long before, and Kramnik is probably a bit
stronger than Kasparov VS computers. So DB already doesn't look like it was
stronger.
