Hi Tanya,
The hardware is about the same as Tiger had in the Argentine -
PIII 800 - 256 Mb hash. Right now we are talking about something
like 8 games - then we'll see. Emanuel is rather free from tournament
play 1-2 months now. Next weekend he's going to play in the Bundesliga
but that's just 2 games.

I'm not sure. Best on the SSDF list - and creating most problems
for humans, are two different things. But it looks like Franz Morsch
has done a great job with Fritz 7.006. We chose Fritz this time because
Emanuel has already played 4 games vs Tiger (2.5-1.5 for E), and there
was no interest from Christoph in trying out the new Tiger against him ;-)
So we turned to Fritz because of the good results seen in the SSDF, Utzinger
tournament etc. Also we looked at it as an interesting sort of pre-match
before Kramnik-Fritz. These games are thought as training for Emanuel.
He's playing his ordinary game and might try some experiments in the
openings. Just like in the 1st game, which provided good material for
further analysis how to handle the black side. I think we will see much
more of anti-computer chess in Smirin-computers and Kramnik-Fritz.
Btw, we are starting the 3rd game Berg - Fritz7 in 40 minutes ;-)
