Hi Mike,
What do you think about preparation , I mean the possibility of Kramnik to find
weak points in the program and possibly to make the machine follow a "quasi-
predetermined" line of game ?
We have just witnessed a couple of almost similar games...queenless middlegame
with the major pieces slowly disappearing from the board and a triumphal pawn
endgame against a disoriented Fritz.
I think that people of Chessbase, but in general CC has still a lot of "room for
improvement" in endgame phase.

w.b.r.
Otello
