A fairly dull game.... .....with a few little tactical pleasantries ( 25...Bxh4?? 26.g5, trapping the bishop). Neither side was able to make any impression. But drawing with the Black pieces is a good result for Kramnik. I'm curious to see how he will handle the White pieces.

I followed the match at FICS, and got very surprised about the silly 25.h4. It allows the immediate draw, while White may and should play on following the "simple" plan of Kg2-f3-e4 and f2-f4(-f5). Black has 2 weaknesses in this position: queenside pawns stuck on dark squares, like the Bishop, and the White's passed pawn (that he may create on the kingside).
I spent 3 hours of analysis and yet I haven't explored all the possibilities, but until now White always wins. I will post the full analysis when it will be complete...
My big doubt is why DF chose the draw-now move while it thoughts it was ahead, instead of the cleverer above plan, which may even be a draw, but is far more complex, requires a lot of calculations and White will never lose while Black have to play with absolute precision to avoid - or procrastinate - the loss.
h4, instead, leads to the immediate blocking of all the pawns; one plays that move ONLY if he wants to draw. And Fritz7 doesn't play that move in that position (people has tested the position)!
Furthermore, the trap is not a trap! After 25...Bxh4! 26.g5 Bxf2+ 27.Kxf2 White's King can't go anywhere, and any Bishop sacrifice will lead to a simple pawn ending won by Black (thanks to the h5 pawn).

Again Deep Fritz proved to have a very weak understanding of the endgame. In a drawn position, after 38.Kd3, it decided to destroy its kingside pawns, creating weaknesses (with its 38th and 39th moves), after that White's active pieces win easily.
This demonstrates that if the human can avoid tactical complications and go into a strategical endgame, computers are not yet a valuable help :)

Is Deep Fritz better� than the program that beat Kasparov? Have these two programs met?

how could a program as strong as deep fritz lose in a pretty much drawn endgame? what is the world coming to? remember, this is what is going to take over the human race one day.........

program is not human it only does what other humans told it to do. until we have real e-intellect, humans have a chance!
i think kramnik utilized fact that he is not playing a human but program for 100% so far -- and i think he also would've played differently against the human, but when it is a computer, he suspects how computer thinks (not exact combination, but rather on what kind of game program wants to see) and uses it.
i also think that if kramnik wins against the program, then kasparov will learn from him and also will be able to win against the computer.

May be DF don't want to get tired? Is his plan playing dull, get easy draws and only go for the victory if he looks a good opportunity?
Thanks Brunetti for your allways extraordinaries posts.
Honololou: I read that Deep Blue does'nt exist anymore. His (?) power came from a great hardware. They say that Deep Fritz is a better program but running in a less powerfull machine.

Do you know if there is a human operator who decides the move?

I have found out that if game against a computer goes to an endgame that is not in it's database, and there are still many pawns and some pieces, the computer playes weakly, because it can't think abstractly. The win is usually beyond it's horizon! It can maybe play materially the best moves for some 10+ moves (the calculation is usually based on material strength) but not positionally...

Of course, modern computers such as Deep Fritz don't come up with such intricate plans. Computers still place a hefty value on material in relation to other factors, and Fritz in all probability evaluated its advantage after 25. h4 to be about a pawn up, since there was no immediate draw (the kings can run around for a long time). It probably didn't realize that there was no way for White to convert his pawn plus. Fritz can't come up with 'plans' of 'exploiting weaknesses', etc. I haven't tested the position with various versions of Fritz, but I would expect that most Fritz engines evaluate White as winning after 25. h4 (even though it is obviously drawn to any human player).

Someone in Chessbase should not be that happy.
DF is playing very badly, throwing away good positions and missing chances.
Maybe they have set their program to play with an "anti-human" style.
