And I even know Kramnik easely would have won that game But on the board it is not so clear. The etiquete where I was talking about is resign only when even a beginner knows how to win that position. And that stage was not reached yet. I can show you a position where the Fritz team would have resigned while 2 moves later the game was a draw and the oponent then did resign in the equal position. How stupid can you be! Marc
