Perhaps , or it's because Kasparov now realises that the BS theory of playing anti-computer openings is a bad idea. I would say Kramnik showed kasparov that any SuperGM is still capable, of surprising chess programs with powerful TNs or controlling the tempo with well chosen openings. Openings (or their books actually) might yet turn out to be the weakest aspect of programs in this era of Man versus Machine contests. I predict perhaps 1 or 2 more losses from DJ from similar positions. >Roger
