That will be most interesting. Possible descriptive blurb for Kramnik
personality: "Does nothing in particular for first 30-40 moves. Then wins
endgame by force (all 6-man tablebases REQUIRED)". But please tell me it will be
possible to view analysis without incurring a 50% speed penalty -- I spend more
time analyzing than playing. The King engine sometimes comes up with interesting
approaches, and I'd really like to know what it's thinking about.
