No The conclusion can also be that Fritz is not good enough and kramnik can be invited to a match against Rebel or Junior. The conclusion can also be that getting the program before the match is not fair and kramnik should not get the opponent before the match. The conclusion can also be that the time control is too slow and that there should be faster time control for the next match. Uri
