Hi,
the draw was agreed after some having some problems with the computer. At least
that´s what the report from that day said.
By the way, yet another win for the Tiger. If tiger was a human player what
would be the trainig to play against it? I understand it would be studing his
games and finding its strong and weak points. If professionals don´t do it
nowadays, it´s not tiger fault but theirs. At least this is my way of thinking.
Probably if the programs were given fide rating, professionals would behave in a
different way as their rating could chage in those games. But that is all an
imginary scenario, the only real thing is Tiger is clearly ahead of three GMs an
several IM, so it is playing  better than them. It is also true that some
amateurs could teach those GMs and IMs how to play against computers because thy
know better those weak points, I find that perfectly reasonable too.
Here is the last game.
