Nobody who is familiar with the prevailing computer chess scene can deny that
Alexander is a genius at preparing opening books for computer v computer games.

Against Kramnik, however, one must question his judgement.

In each game, the queens have come off early. Against a human, that can't be
right.

What is needed is to get to an open position with the queens still on the board.

Given that nothing else in Fritz can be modified except the opening book, it
really is down to Alex Kure now to provide Vladimir with some sort of
opposition.
