If Kasparov and Kramnik were both computer programs which could not tell the
difference if they are playing against another computer program or against a
human, then they can justify their poor performance. But they can both adjust
easy knowing who they will be facing. The only logical explanation would be that
their oponents probably found out that if they play like computer programs
they might have a better chance against the two Kings and took advantage of the
situation.
