Re: Bad Beat in Chess?

I'm not sure how much you researched the this match, but I was certain Kramnik had no chance of winning until I read about the actual rules of the match. There are several ridiculous rules which are all designed to give Kramnik a chance. For example, while Fritz is still in it's opening book, Kramnik sees all of the computers evalutions for it's moves and his possible counter moves. That is just one example.

Good catch. When I first saw the line at Pinnacle (Kramnik +.5 +225 or so), I thought that Kramnik had to be value there. When I spent an hour or so reading about it and finding out that chess people seemed to think that the line was pretty good, I realized I had no clue/angle on the match and that my judgment couldn't be trusted on this so I
passed and forgot about it. The rules might've swung me back but I try to listen when my inner voice tells me not to bet. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
