I'm a little tired of people attempting to deprive the Deep Fritz Team of the Legitamate Credit they Deserve. People forget that Psychology is a very large part of Chess, it is just as much a part of the game as strategy or tactics. Kasparov once said of Ivanchuck that he had tremoudous talent but wasn't world Championship material because of his lack of Nerves. Kramnick admited before the match the fact that computer have no emotions, which can be an advantage. The Lack of emotions is a asset that computers have that Humans lack and is a part of the elo equation, just like intitution is something humans have that computers lack. How many of us first of all could put so much pressure on Kramnick that he would blunder in this way??? Great Chess Players deal with Pressure, which is one of the aspects that make them Great. The Evidence of the Pressure is when was the last time anyone Got Kramnick in such a jam as to force him to play in such a way?? I think Deep Fritz deserves every credit for the Win, against a 2800 elo player even the draw would have merited Great Praise.
