Plus, he's not stupid enough to study Fritz for two years. Of course he has Fritz like you and me but I'm sure that he never feared to lose. For me the whole event with the oil sheikh is a nice "Wag the Dog"-like spin by Frederic F. and the Brits around Keene. With a bit of reflection and differentiation everybody could understand the hype. Kramnik alreadat achieved what he wanted, he proved Fritz exremely stupid and now the rest is for the sponsors and F.F. You know, I love it. Fred lay for the whole game 4 in the background and then when the GM had told him that it were a draw he recovered from his depression and soon he invented the next spin! Quote by heart: "If this game will be a draw, the next game will be extremely important for Kramnik, because, if he'll lose (!!) that game, then it will become extremely dangerous for his nervous system..." You get the drift. You can always define something terribly weak into a Wch candidate! In CC that is possible. I would say it was the tradition over the last decades. With the exception of Bob who is trying to calm the emotions from time to time, without major success. Actually I think for the hype in CC this site in Bahrain is really a brilliant choice. The Land of 1000 & 1 Nights! Where you can see yourself grow about thrice your original height. Just by the physical reflection by sand and water. Sometimes you can see millions of people applauding you in the far distance. So this is perhaps the only site on earth where idealism and materialism fall together into one! What you are thinking becomes immediately real _and_ true. Rolf Tueschen
