I completely agree with what has been stated in this thread. But what if Vegas was looking for some kind of "point spread"? That is, what will the final match score be? I believe most of us know Kramnik could go undefeated if he wanted to. But how will he play this match? Will he keep the score close to make it look good? In other words, will Kramnik throw a few games to keep the interest level up? I would not be surprised if that was the plan. Chris Kantack http://home.earthlink.net/~kantack/lcdchess/home.htm
