I'm afraid not. The difference is that the strategie Kramnik uses is very easy.

To keep a position closed and build up an attack you need some chessskils. Also
for other known anticomputer play.

To exchange queens with not too much positional disadvantage is a lot easier.
After the exchange, the halfpoint is sure and Kramnik can have a look to see if
he can get more.

I think that after this match Fritz will have a hard time playing normal GM's
since they will use this strategie as well.
