Now now, let's not start that again. But I predict the most likely excuse would
be that Kramnik's play was too conservative to produce exciting chess. Of course
that doesn't explain losing games, so it won't work too well. No excuse will
work, if he loses, Kramnik was the better man this match, period. It will be
interesting to see what Kasparov tries to shake up the play, the pressure is on
big time.
