I'll refer to the statements made many times on this forum that there are too
few games played in this match to prove anything other than Deep Fritz was
capable to draw this 8 game match and by this score it doesn't prove that Deep
Fritz is equal in strength to Kramnik's rating though i do personally feel that
it is playing in the mid 2600 strength!
