Apart from the fact that it's not Junior who's playing against Kramnik but
Fritz, I think the lesson of the first two games in the Kramnik-DF match should
be, that it's not really important which chess engine plays. And with how many
hashtables and CPUs and whatnot. As long as we (and the chess programmers) hold
on to things like NPS and stuff, the human will always have a chance.

Yeah, so other engines might not have made the move Bf8, (although apparently
some also would have)  but then, Kramnik would just smash them in another way.
