I doubt that Kramnik has an 8 processor cpu at home so he cannot "prepare"
anything unless he own or have access to identical hardware. On an 8 processor
cpu it would be a whole different game as to just playing against a dual or
single cpu, the program running on 8 processors would look deeper and come up
with bettter moves!

Well i would like to see that aswell, but unless you come up with a contract
that would attract a sponsor with a similar price bag and an 8 processor cpu i
don't see that happening, besides from the ethical point of view: imagine that
prior to the braingames event where Kasparov put his title it stake for the
world championship, someone got the idea to do the same with to different
players, different sponsors before the braingames event took off!?

it is nice to know that all the GM losses to programs in recent(and past years)
are only a result of GM's being "nice" to the programs in order to make it look
good lol ;-)
