I don't think so. With my level of chess skill, I have no chance to win. After all, Vladimir Kramnik has spent years of his life studying chess, and has a much greater talent and feel for the game than I do.* Obviously, when it comes to chess, he and I are not running on equal platforms. He's studied the games of the great masters before him. He's memorized myriad opening variations, and developed many of his own. It's not fair that's he's using the knowledge and games of the past to improve his play. Shouldn't the World Championship of Chess be determined by Kramnik games, not the games and the knowledge of other humans? Having grown up in a society that valued chess, and having been immersed in chess for nearly his entire life, it's like he was given a front-end interface for chess-playing that other players like myself have no hope of equalling. Not fair, if you ask me. *Most people here are better than me at chess, btw, I'm a 1350 blitz player on ICC.
