Subject: Re: What makes Kasparov Vs DJ more attractive than Kramnik match !

Go up one level in this thread


The point is not when Kasparov gets anything, it's that the Junior team can
bring *anything they want* to the table. There are no constraints on which
version they use, so Kasparov's "fresh copy" could be as different from what
they use in Jerusalem as a version from a year ago. It's not as if the Junior
team had to start with the copy they gave Kasparov!

Assuming that what they had in Maastricht was their best, that's still not a lot
of time to make meaningful changes and test them thoroughly, which I pointed out
in my article. But it's not at all the same as having a completely
version-frozen situation as in the Deep Fritz - Kramnik match. If Kramnik can
get the openings he wants just one or two times there is no reason why he can't
play entire winning games from memory. This is improbable, but possible. And
just doing it once turns the match into a bit of a joke.

My full article is here, by the way:
