If your life depended on a chess game, who would you >pick to play for your side? ;) Kasparov helped by Deep Blue :) But jokes apart, what I want to stress is that IMO Kramnik has devised a precise strategy in this match against Fritz, i.e. knock off all the heavy pieces with forced trades and go smoothly to a calm endgame where the heavy weapons are deactivated and possibly with locked pawns. In that playground the worst outcome for him can be a draw, but thanks to endgame long range planning weakness of Fritz, he can usually get the full point if the first part of the plan were successful. w.b.r.
