Of course we can believe what Kramnik stated until now but how often did players of important matches showed their secrets _after_ the match? Why do you call this still a conspiracy? I call it professional biz... (To the other stuff: I thought you were at the side who does not exaggerate the abilities of chess progs but it seems you changed your point of view totally since a while - I played >500 tournament games in the late eighties until around 1998 and played X thousands of computer games so think I know a bit of what I am talkin about - I even had some little contribution to the general opening theory when I was much more active) Günther Simon
