I really don't see why Fritz would have to worry. :o) There are so many reasons why a program's moves are unpredictable. Kramnik can only try to choose an opening variation (which ChessBase will undoubtly be well prepared for, at least a far as all public GM games are concerned). And as soon as the engine calculates, there could be: 1. slightly different response time from Kramnik -> different comp move 2. slightly different time control setting, i.e. to cover handling time -> different comp move 3. much bigger hash tables than Kramnik used in preparation -> different comp move 4. 8 CPUs Kramnik probably won't have available in preparation -> different comp move He can try to adapt to the style, try to find more "general" weaknesses. But for that, I think it won't matter much if this is Fritz 7.0.0.6 or Deep Fritz 7.x or whatever (probably it doesn't even matter if it's Fritz, Junior or Nimzo). Does somebody really think Kramnik can prepare "Anti-Fritz" especially, i.e. thing which wouldn't work against any other program too? Forget it... Regards, M.Scheidl
