Do you suggest that kramnik earn money from not winning Deep Fritz in 2002.

Kramnik was very close to winning but started to play like a patzer and lost
because of mistakes that even I expect myself to avoid in most games(one ply
mistake and resigning in practically drawn position because fritz could not win
it).

Did chessbase promise kramnik another match if he does not win the match in
2002?

I think that humans who only draw should not get another match unless all the
players with higher rating get another match and lose it.
