Yeah, sorry. I feel very skeptical anyway when I see these claims of huge Elo
jumps. I like very much how Deep Fritz plays, 2 days ago it did a great job
during the 6th game Kramnik-Kasparov... It is a great engine, but 100 Elo over
F6a?

I won't be able to follow today's game. I must go out of town. :(
