If DB had remained active, at least this kind of >nonsense would not happen... but... Now they have to let this new super-superchessprogram forget all about DB. In the eyes of a lot of people, this program has to be better than DB else the whole match uninteresting. By defeating Fritz, Kramnik can "prove" that humans are better, and that the loss of Kasparov was just bad luck (Since Kramnik would have beaten DB because Fritz is better than DB and Kramnik has beaten Fritz and Kasparov, so it must be true) cheers, Tony
