If on the other hand, Kramnik accepts the challenge to outbook Fritz similar as Adams did to Shredders book,we may see a great historical contribution to chess theory from the CB bookmakers vs Kramniks team. I am confident that Kramnik can control the opening lines into well rehearst positions, in which he does not have to outcalculate the engine or endgame bases. When replaying some of his games,it shows the depth of his "book",and I am shure,he will be better prepared than Kasparov in his match. If health does not interfere,my prediction is: 3 wins and 5 draws for Kramnik. Kurt Widmann
