He's talking about fiasko = shootout and they can't do anything about it. But he
also mentioned that Kramnik got the version only a fortnight ago.

It all boils down to the DB2 strategy - Bob also brought into memory - that
programmers want to tweak in such a short match, but then you can forget about
preparation. So - therefore my claim is the programmers should do their job and
mae the chess stronger in theprogs instead of being poor losers... The whole
database hype is nonsense with these GM. If they are well prepared. And not
old-aged like Gulko.
