I've already made my choice. I said in several >articles that for me this is kind of unconscious telling the ChessBase team >"_________." I think that things like this happen to chess players. They find that move A is bad,They go to analyze move B for some minutes. They do not like B so they go back to play move A because they forgot that they found that move A is wrong. I still expect super GM's to have better memory so I expect them not to forget what they thought few minutes ago. > >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.

He did not say it and I do not think that he cared about the fact that Rebel or Tiger were not invited to the tournament to decide about the program that plays against him. Uri
