Do you really think that Kramnik takes any notice of the Schiller website and
what's published there? Or that he even cares for details of the qualifying
process?

Easy to say now, after Fritz has won a game. If Fritz couldn't win a game, you
could as well say Fritz was a tool for Kramnik's PR action, applying the same
view.

How would you organise a Man vs. Machine event and NOT having some people say
"It's a PR action" (they of course mean, *only* PR)?? Play against an unknown
mediocre Grandmaster in a secret bunker with no media coverage at all?

Of course every activity which gets many media reports has a PR aspect. Is it a
SIN? Would you prefer chess and computer chess NEVER being in mass media?
