Default Re: Bad Beat in Chess?

I should say that I personally don't think it was a fix.

I mean if they wanted to fix the match, would they do it in such a ridiculous way?

The again, I guess they would. Deep Fritz is a commercial product, and they could then claim they beat the world champion. And yet Kramnik would not have been considered to have been outplayed by the chess community, who knows about the circumstances.

The ending is just so absurd that I am trying to understand it.

The amount I wagered is small, and I don't even feel angry or anything. This is just something which interests me (which is why I was researching the match in the first place) and I wanted to hear from some of the posters here who are clearly experts when it comes to chess.
