I do think computers are GM Level, but I think and history has shown this with
world champions playing matches with players below the top 25, that the match
may be a mismatch. I think GM Kramnik will crush Fritz, but I think this is to
be expected. Unless computers are even stronger then the data would predict.

I predict a 7.5 - 2.5 score in favor of GM Kramnik, or maybe 6.5-3.5 if GM
Kramnik wants to coast. No matter how you look at it, I don't see Fritz winning
or drawing this match. GM Kramnik is too strong for today's computers.
