I know it's crazy to thank someone for expressing his opinions but it seems as if you were the first programmer who had the guts to open his mouth. I think it's a bad thing that Eric Schiller must have done what he did to let people think about the bad side of such show events. Just take a look at what Kramnik said at the press conference today. No he isn't depressed since it was such a wonderful game. Fine, but he simply missed the point. He should prove that GM are able to go beyond the horizon of such machines. He did that in all first four games. But now this is becoming ridiculous. The impossible blunder present. Now the playable sac with no win continuation. Kramnik is no longer taking this for serious! On Monday he told us a story about his blunder that is simply untrue because impossible, today he is dreaming of the potentially best game of his career, perhaps tomorrow he will tell us that he played the whole game 7 with combinations he learned from checkers... I have the idea that he feels disgusted by people who insinuated that he had prepared moves like Bf8 over months! As if that would be necessary against Fritz.You know, Bobby Fischer felt disgusted too because of a population that simply had no understanding for his art. What remains - making jokes,taking the money and run as fast as you can. Rolf Tueschen
