I have just pointed my browser at http://www.brainsinbahrain.com and in the comments of the latest game is written: [...] "It was almost a shame to see the nice position Fritz had created out of the opening spoil like date pudding in the Bahraini sun. The super-program knew it was in trouble but didn't see any way out as Kramnik began to squeeze. The middle of the board fell under the control of his rooks and he smoothly transformed that into a winning pawn endgame. This pattern is very reminiscent of the last game and highlights a well-known computer weakness in long-range endgame planning" [...] w.b.r. Otello
