Some friends and I had a chance to speak to Roman D. shortly before the match,
and we asked his opinion.  I don't remember the exact quote, but he said
something like while Kramnik knew exactly how to beat Fritz quite easily, he
would have to play in a style that would be sort of embarrasing for a top GM to
play, and he might not be able to bring himself to play this way, given all the
publicity.
