The opposite result is more logical. Kramnik is better than Fritz and the conditions for kramnik is clearly better than the contditions for kasparov so even if kramnik beats Deep fritz 6-2, It is not going to convince me that Deeper blue is better than Deep Fritz. I say 6-2 and not 6-0 becase I think that facts are important for my opinion. Unfortunately it seems that there are people who do not let facts to convince them to change their opinion. Uri
