I would like to hear from the CCC group how much K will
gain from having the program for 3 months. In my view,
an advantage yes, but maybe not as much as I thought at
first.
1. K may not have the HW for the match.
2. To get a real feel for Fritz 7 he will need the HW and
play 40/2 games.
3. K has to prepare for other opponents for matches and
tournaments, I think this will be a higher priority for K.
4. K has other commitments than just matches and tournaments that
will also be a higher priority.
5. K may gain a sense of how Fritz should play at any given time,
and may be over confident by match time.
None of the above are guaranteed, but in my opinion, lots of games at
fast time controls is not the same as 40/2 on the real HW. Also, my
guess is that K will play some each week against what ever version of
Fritz he gets, but each will be slightly different (ala play different
versions of crafty with slightly different books) and not the same.
Any thoughts.
I do think this gives K a huge advantage, I am just not sure he will
have the time to fully utilize it. Just some thoughts. ;)
My guess now: K wins 6.5-3.5 with a couple of surprises by both
and a couple of blunders by both. ;)
Best Regards,
