 Ian Rogers, the Australian Grand Master, says, 'the one clear winner from the
 [Fritz/Kramnik]contest turned out to be Gary Kasparov." He continues,"had
 Kramnik wiped out Deep Fritz,as looked early in the Bahrain match Kasparov
 would not only have looked slightly silly for losing to Deep Blue but would
have been obliged to beat Deep Junior convincingly to maintain parity with
 Kramnik.The tied match however leaves a wonderful opportunity for Kasparov to
 decide the question of human superiority over machines as well as steal a march
on Kramnik."
 Personally I think Kasparov will have trouble beating Deep Junior given his
 performance against Deep Blue.Then again he may work a lot harder in preparing
 for this match.It should prove interesting.
