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. Tony > >Ed
