Why do you call the sacrifice a 1 ply mistake? He thought about that move for 45 minutes. He took a chance, he had already shown he was superior in the quiet positions, I think he got bored and wanted to show he could play some exciting chess, and do it better then fritz too! It probably wasn't a very good match strategy, since he was only leading by 1 point at the time, but like he said - it could have been the game of his life, so he had to try it! ;) I doubt you or anyone else could, at the time, say it was a mistake. In hindsight things are always painfully clear. It was a bad decision perhaps, but not a blunder. I still believe humans are better when they play their best (as Kramnik showed clearly in the first 3 games), but one must acknowledge other aspects like concentration and confidence play a role too. -S. >He never played similiar errors in all the last serious >games against humans except one against anand >when he sacrificed a piece for not enough compensation. > >Even about the game against anand I read that people claim >that kramnik had no good choice(I do not >know if they are right because I am not a GM >and I cannot trust my impression or the impression of >computers as the absulute truth) > >Uri
