I believe that there are GM's who are not going to ask for Deep Fritz in advance. Kramnik earns a lot of money even if he will lose the match and there are other things that are not money that he may lose. If kramnik plays a match in the future against anand or kasparov and people are going to ask me for the side that I support then I am going to say anand or kasparov because of the fact that kramnik asked for Deep Fritz in advance. I believe that I am not the only human with this opinion and it is not going to make kramnik happy. Uri
