Here beyond all your friendliness I find it almost a scandal for a man of your class to write such a, well, let me be diplomatic, improbable stuff. 1) You know how to think 2) You know that a GM, perhaps not outside the former SU, oops, is something of another class than those machines 3) You saw what Kramnik made out of Fritz (pudding or chili con pudding) in the first 4 games 4) And since you are a man, who also doesn't suddenly suffer of a never before seen weakness in front of young (!) women, you know that Kramnik could not be impressed by some hanky panky by those fabulous Fritz operators with their 2234 at max. 5) So what do you want to express with your statement that Fritz drew to that entity GM? 6) Or is it out of mere joy for the performance of the boys in the heat of Bahrain? That would be the only reason I would accept 7) And I thought that you would represent the money-independent thinker... But give me 1 million dollars and I will fully agree with you for a couple of days, Fernando Rolf Tueschen P.S. Latin lovers are very inconsistent
