Kramnik's style happens to be a great match for ANY computer.  He does not take
unnecessary risks, unlike most of the GMs that play these sorts of matches
(e.g., Christiansen).  He does not blunder much, if ever.  He is the best human
(much better than Kasparov) to show up the inherent weaknesses in ALL chess
programs.

I really don't think Fritz is different from the others in this regard.  None of
them had/has a clue that trading into that endgame was/is a sure way to lose,
for example.

Surely Deep Fritz 7 is the strongest one out there given multiple CPUs.  (With
only 1 CPU, perhaps Tiger 15 is a tiny bit stronger.)
