Uhh, well maybe if he >gets sick or crazy or something. It is clear that Deep Fritz has no chance against Kramnik. Nobody expects Fritz to win. I guess that most people are not going to bet that Fritz is going to beat Kramnik even if they can earn 100$ for winning and lose 1$ for losing. Fritz is public and it is unfair. A secret program when Kramnik know nothing about it may have chances but noy Fritz. Deeper blue was a secret program when kasparov knew nothing about it. Deep Fritz is not close to be a secret program. It could be more interesting if the sponsors organized a match between kramnik and a secret program when they reveal the details about the computer only after the match( kasparov played against deeper blue in similiar conditions) The secret program should be something that is not commercial in the last year (otherwise I am afraid that kramnik can guess the name of the program after analyzing the first game) Uri
