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.

Underestimating the computer is more likely. 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..
