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? He could not know it but he could try many openings to see in which opening Fritz goes wrong and he has good chances to find the relevant positions in part of his games. The logic to suspect that he prepared Bf8 is based on the fact that it is logical for humans to do it. He had enough time to try some thousands of options for Deep Fritz against his regular openings. He seems to prepare seriously and even bought a machine with 8 processors so it is logical to suspect that he tried to find positions that Fritz goes wrong. Preparing full games is a bad idea because preparing some thousands of better positions is better for him than preparing a hundred of full games and can take the same time. Uri
