But the GM made the mistake _anyway_ and he was not in time trouble... Ok, this GM didn't talk about it but Kramnik did talk and he said that a few moments before he had checked the move Qc4 and then saw that he would lose a piece, then a couple of minutes later he came back to this move and moved Qc4! This is simply unbelievable. I've already made my choice. I said in several articles that for me this is kind of unconscious telling the ChessBase team "_________." I'm sure that Kramnik is not so happy about the previous events when ChessBase prevented others than Fritz to qualify for the match with Kramnik. Because before Eric Schiller gave his report, Kramnik was convinced that Fritz did qualify fair and straight... Rolf Tueschen
