Queens are exchanged, Kramnik might have found such "moves", we would call blunder in human chess, because FRITZ might think that from now on direct King safety is less important. So loss of tempi should be less important. Hence FRITZ can "fully concentrate" on the optimal positioning of the pieces. Castling comes much later. Of course this is real nonsense and no human chess player, either GM or beginner would play Bf8! I think that Kramnik showed a good example today of what will happen if the best humans once tried to enter into real fighting chess mode. The almost primitive saccing on g5 is far too average for a real artist. Chess has some thousands more of such tricks. But it would be bad if the masters would tell them before they all had their own 1-million dollar "match". BTW, the way I could understand the character of Vladimir, he will now be content to hold 50% in the next 6 games. He has already demonstrated with certainty that he's 100 times stronger than this ignorant chess program. It was a deep deception for me to see how little hundreds of people on the Fritz server could enjoy this sort of simple and artistically ingeniuos play by Kramnik. This was a game which proved almost mathematically why humans are still better than machines. And before chess couldn't be solved, such games with different motifs will be reproduced. I'm sad that I can't say different here to the many computer chess friends. Rolf Tueschen
