I mean did you see or hear the evidence fromKramnik himself or are you combiningyourself what could have happened? Do you really believe that Kramnik should have played and worked hard with Fritz vor over 15 months now?? I don't thinks so. Of course Fritz is a training tool also for GM but I think that Kramnik must not work for months to discover what is weak in such a program. But of course you won't tell the press. Simply because that would cause problems to the sponsors! I think that those are correct who say that he had never Bf8 on his display. Or would you think that he had thought for 14 minutes? I think further that you identification with the ChessBase team goes a bit too far if you now insinuate that Kramnik should lie about the truth. Because he had already stated that he didn't know the move as someone said. Why starting such conspiracies? Let's enjoy the rest of the games! Rolf Tueschen
