Actually I meant the opposite: It's not clear to me that everybody is a winner
in this match (as Christophé seemngly means). IOW, {D.B. win = computerchess
loss} does *not* mean vice versa, {Fritz loss = computerchess win}. At least not
when Fritz can't win at least one game. People just expect much more, nowadays.
After the game was announced first until now, I wasn't aware that there is
really a possibility that Fritz could score only a few draws. This is at least
as dangerous for computer chess than the D.B. win 1997 which maybe was a bit too
early. Even more, if it will turn out that the queens have been exchanged always
during the book variants, before the engine even started.
These computer opening books are really unfair...! :o)) ("Spin", but I'm not
responsible. :o)
