Mosey on down to: http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=255 "I spent some time last summer studying Fritz because the match was originally supposed to take place in October 2001 and had to be postponed because of September 11. I was testing Fritz on a Notebook with a 600 MHz processor. I let Fritz replay the games of Deep Blue in 1997. It was a great shock! In almost every position Fritz was suggesting objectively better variations. The program is clearly stronger than Deep Blue, whatever the hardware. The developers have done some excellent work in the past years." Notwithstanding that Kramnik seems to say what Chessbase want him to say, I would take his words more seriously than those who do not recognize the inflation of the Elo rating system and the fact that current world championship contests are held to produce a lower quality than of two decades ago. I do not think having an incredible memory, unsurpassed will to win and complete dedication are something to be rolled over by more opening book rote learning. Classic mistake of club players.
