Go up one level in this thread


So Kramnik has 2 wins.

Smart people see many possible explanations:

* Fritz is stronger than Deep Blue, but Kramnik is lucky
* Fritz is stronger than Deep Blue, and Kramnik is much better prepared than
Kasparov
* Fritz is stronger than Deep Blue, but Kramnik is playing the better anti-bot
style.
* Fritz is equal to Deep Blue, but humans had 5 years to get better too
* Fritz is equal to Deep Blue, but Human chess has improved in 5 years too with
the help of computers
...

Other people only see one explanation.
