I wonder how many more plies a 8 processor cpu would search compared to a dual.. Again I wonder if this will help against positional errors..You make it seem like Kramnik is going to beat fritz at home, [after numerous takebacks] then memorise the moves and then repeat them ..LOL . Plus of course, he may not have a 8 processor CPU, but if he really have months of preparation, he can give it enough time to analyse the critical position to get a close enough result anyway. >>I don't frequent this site often.

Lack of preparationess is another..Both of which Kramnik is unlikely to do..Hopefully. 65% chance for Kramnik? Perhaps a 65% score, if Kramnik wins one early game and decide to play safe..
