I can't explain in a few sentences why I didn't put you "into the CB corner".
Because you might misread me again. I was talking about identification and that
is meant as a term to explain the neighbourhood of your thoughts with probably
the CB side, the team if you want. You see? I didn't want to put you into a
"corner" to mark you somehow. It was just a phrasing in the argument. But on the
contrary your reaction proved something else. That you are very concerned about
such "being put". But maybe that is important in certain German forums but at
least not here. Where from I had my idea for that term? Oh, I can read the many
postings here in CCC and can well discover those who come from ChessBase
defenders. No matter how strange their pseudonymes might sound. :)

And now please listen.

You have written and you cannot deny that:

"I am pretty sure that he did very well _know_ that
DF will i.e. play this Bf8 move in the 2nd game."

And that goes simply pretty too far, you know! Now either you are an insider and
want to accuse Kramnik of lying or you are, what you are now pretending, just
another amateur user of "WB" without any connections with CB at all. But what
then motivated you to write such conspiracy nonsense?

Yes I know - your logic goes like that: You saw the Bf8 and then you played it
with your own machine at home and whoopie you had Bf8 on the display. And then
you concluded that Kramnik must have seen the same at home! Well done! This is
good logic! NOT! This is nonsense and you can't make such conclusions. And I
thought that you were educated enough to understand it by yourself. But
apparently you want to go into the other direction now. You want to prove
against all odds, that if you had it at home then Kramnik or his aids must have
had it at home too! Well that is simply naive or call it what you want. Here in
CCC in this international group you can't bring forward the same nonsense that
could help in CSS. Here logic has still a certain value! In CSS logic is decided
by company interests. Here in CCC the argument counts. And your argument had the
disadvantage that you stand agains Malcolm Pein, a respected chess expert. Who
could talk to Vladimir Kramnik. Know what I mean? Is it clear by now why I tried
to write you my arguments in the first place? Yes, because you insulted a very
honorable man. Know what I mean? And you also insulted Kramnik himself. Not
nice.



>I am also pretty sure


Now that phrase should get a renovation somehow. It's an empty phrase.



>that the opening book Kramnik had been given
>was 99,9% the same that is used now for this match.


Outch. Now I understand where your misunderstandings do come from! Didn't you
know that the moves are not so important but more so the flags??? So, if the
book was the same, then how about the preferences? How could Kramnik know these?
Can't you understand the nonsense you took as a base for your thoughts? You want
to tell me that Bf8 could be discovered in a fortnight? Not exact enough, better
in a fortnight where the team of Kramnik had to do sort of things but not
searching for Bf8 stuff!

But now I've seen that I must apologize. I couldn't know the real extension of
your ignorance. And therefore I apologize that I thought that you could have
insulted Kramnik or Pein.

Geschenkt. But I have a still worse discovery here. You wrote:

"IMHO even a 1900+ player might have some chances for at least a whole
point in this match being familiar with DF style and the biggest part
of its opening book."

Dream on, Günther! You are badly wrong here. Totally wrong. Even if you were
able to hold the complete data in your memory you would not be able to master
the technique problems later. You are talking like the pupil who's learning his
first language and who thinks that now he could understand the conservation in
that particular land. Or the student who heard or read something and then
thought that he had understood it and now could explain it to other students. If
you ever tried it you would have seen that such processes are not similar.
Passive knowledge is different to practical abilities. I hope I could give you
some important information.
