No... this was in game #2, but my comment was for game #1 and when Fritz has the *white* pieces. I thought, (a) Kramnik's most solid defense is the Berlin, and therefore (b) to have the slightest chance to win White should not play the Ruy Lopez against him. (I don't expect that someone can really hope to surprise Kramnik with a novelty later in that variation.) Or IOW, we all want to see Fritz to go for a win with White I think, and that's not realistic when the book moves chosen allow Kramnik to play the Berlin Defense of the Ruy Lopez. It may be a good way to draw though, for psychological reasons (Kramnik satisfied with a draw too, with black), but I think for an event like that this is not an attractive idea. (We'll know more after the other white games of Fritz.) Regards, M.Scheidl
