GM commentator Nigel Short was critical of the Fritz Team's decision to resign. "At least for the thousands of chess fans out there who will see this game and not understand why black resigned," he said. "There are several long variations for white to calculate, many choices to make, it's not that simple. Black should have played on for at least 10 more moves." I agree. I dont think that just because Fritz evaluations drops very low that Fritz should resign. If the Strentgh of the computer is its ability to navigate long lines and make no tactical mistakes, while it takes much more work for a human to do this, and the eval is thinking according to perfect play...why not make them sweat it out. Chess is war. This is the beginning of the match. Doesnt long term implications of stress come into play? And if it irritates Kramnik...even better. Ed
