"4. What is to prevent Kramnik and all his GM assistants from finding literally
hundreds of games in which Fritz can be beaten, and Kramnik repeating eight of
these games in the match in Bahrain?

Because the Fritz Team can choose a different line of play in each game..."

That the team can adjust the openingbook (adding 10plies and/or changing
bookweights) Between Games is news to me and should be of definite benefit to
the Fritz team.

I wonder who they will have to advise them on opening lines to play against a
SuperGrandmaster.  It's easy to "turn off" a line if you get flogged, but you
need someone pretty good to advise a different line or to add 10 ply.

Kramnik has seconds that we know of, does anybody here know who are Fritz's
seconds?
