If not would it not prevent >repeat wins by Kramnik? CM9000 was out for a month before the match, but Christiansen never got the product. He told me a day or two before the match that he was very familiar with CM6000, and he just assumed that CM9000 was "much stronger". Also, Christiansen didn't know which personalities he was going to play against in games 1-3, so preparation against unknown opponents was pretty much impossible. He DID draw the Chessmaster personality, so perhaps his preparation was an advantage in the final game.... jm
