I read that they gave kramnik only printout of games of Fritz7 and not the
program.
I read that the programmers are not going to have the right to change the
program during the match and kramnik is going to have the right to adjourn games
after 6 hours.

I also read that Deep Fritz can see 500M nodes per second and for some reason I
do not believe that it is truth.

500M nodes per second can be truth only if there is some breakthrough on
hardware or if Deep Fritz is going to use hundreds of different personal
computers at the same time and not one SMP machine(I believe that theoretically
it is not impossible and zunzwang already uses a lot of comuters not in an SMP
machine) but for some reason I guess that neither of these events is the case.
