Yes, but his normal style (keep queens on board & >attack) may _perhaps_ not be the best. He may possibly need to adopt a style >more similar to Kramnik (trade queens early and squeeze out a win in great >positional style!). It is better for Kasparov to keep his own style rather than adopting to Kramnik style, since the Deep Junior team is observing this match very carefully and will definitively make changes to improve it. The parameter for Deep Junior could be modified by increasing the value of Deep Junior Queen, depending on which side DJ plays, by doing this Deep Junior will avoid trading Queen whenever it has a chance. Also a special opening could be selected in which the position doesn't call for trading the Queens early. >Such a change would, of course, acknowledge Kramnik's strength (& style), since >Kramnik used it also to successfully crush Kasparov. > >What will Kaspy do, what will he do? > >Can't wait to see! > >--Steve
