All very true.  And I find it disturbing that Kramnik couldn't come up with
anything more interesting than this pale "me-too" imitation of the Kasparov-Deep
Blue match.  Kasparov is a great showman, who blazed new paths and brought chess
more publicity than anyone since Fischer.  Kramnik has yet to demonstrate those
capabilities.
