No, but losing one's chess memory is also like a bomb. If you look at the actual
Kramnik, it is clear thsat he has his memory back but with exactly the 1 million
dollar difference that keeps him away from first places. Because? First places
would be , ahem, sort of impolite to his fellow chess collegues who also want to
make money. Isn't that strange?
