Preparation will be a huge advantage.  Even so, he probably won't simply win
every game.

Picture this:
With a monumental pile of money at stake, you are given a pen and a blank sheet
of paper for conditions of the match.  What will you write down?

That's right, exactly what Kramnik wrote.  Bottom line: He's no dummy.

What about ChessBase?
Sure, they know that they are probably going to lose.
Did IBM's first go-round with Kasparov cost them a huge publicity blow, or did
it enhance IBM's image.  You be the judge.

And Fritz is playing on (what will be called) a PC.

ChessBase is no dummy either.

And we'll all be glued to the computer screen watching it happen too.
