Your point that some sort of "conspiracy theory" exists here is an interesting
one. Certainly, if you believe anything Kasparov says about Kramnik, he has
certainly "taken his eye off the ball" and seems more concerned these days with
his own publicity.

However, I can't convince myself why Kramnik would deliberately throw a game
away - surely, he would go out of his way to mash Fritz to pieces if only to
prove he was the best player in the World.

I believe the day when a computer program can defeat the World Chess Champion in
a match is drawing ever nearer, and what we are seeing is concrete proof of
that.
