Forget it, the match will not take place. So Chessbase is not getting the
publicity, Kramnik is not getting the million dollars, and the Bahrein
organizers are not getting whatever they wanted to get (improvement of their
world image?).
The only winner is IBM. In every newspaper where I saw Kramnik-Fritz, it was
also mentioned that Deeper Blue had already defeated Kasparow. Those who had
forgotten were reminded, and those who did not know were informed. IBM got tons
of free publicity without moving a finger.
