I don't know those 1.h4 games, but I don't think that Kramnik can apply
sacrificial, tricky opening ideas. This sounds way to risky to me. I assume, an
8 CPU machine does not necessarily play the same moves like a dual just given
more time. He can't risk that.

Such games can be reproduced similar, but I don't think it's possible at the 1st
try always. Probably there's a number of failing attempts, until a final version
of such a game crystallizes. Typically, such games are a tightrope walk for some
moves, with the program missing the best defenses, aren't they?

But a match game is only one try each...
