(...) I understand what you mean... although, on the other hand I'm sure that Kasparov of course was aware of that DB could see much deeper, or more respectively. But it's true I think, that he was too busy thinking (and doubting) what the machine might be able to do and what not. The doubts were disturbing him. Do you think it is much easier now for Kramnik? The Fritz version he will be able to prepare with, will be not, or not much different from the match version... only the faster hardware won't be available for him AFAIK. Maybe this doesn't matter that much. What result do you expect from the match (8 games)? Thanks, M.Scheidl
