Mark,  How do you reach this conclusion?   Deep Fritz has never played Deep
Blue.  Frankly I don't think Deep Fritz is even in the same league as Deep Blue
but we'll never know as Deep Blue no longer exists as a working system.

The fact that Kramnik had the program for over a year and did not win the match
is truly amazing.   I can only conclude that he either:

1.  Failed to prepare.  (Was overconfident of winning.)

or

2.  The whole result was pre-arranged.


Unfortunately I find option #2 more likely.
