Kramnik and Deep Fritz Draw, Tied Before Final Game

iskander writes "Man and Machine were content to draw in game 7 of the Brains in Bahrain match. Now it's all down to the final game, in which Kramnik will enjoy the advantage of playing with white. It is worth noting that game 6, in which Kramnik may have resigned too early, was found to be a probable draw with best play, and that Kasparov lost to Deep Blue by tossing a drawable game. However, whereas Kasparov could only excuse himself (unconvincingly) by claiming that Deep Blue had been assisted by a human during play, Kramnik could simply request the adjudication of game 6 on the grounds of infractions committed by Deep Fritz, who is rumored to have heckled Kramnik with its Shakespearean chatter througout the game. :) So, will Dirty Fritz win it all or will Humanity's champion "rise above the chatter" and win back the crown for us? If you think you know, you may want to place a bet or register your opinion on the ChessLines survey soon, because the match ends tomorrow."

Oops, maybe I should read the f'ing article :)

Another Chess player throws a hissy fit.

What a lack of sportsmanship on the part of Kramnik and Kasparov. Why are these great chess players so thin-skinned? Could you imagine if these guys had to put up with real sports reporters like baseball players have to do?

why didn't they kick Kramnik in the balls?

Please, why didn't they program it to kick Kramnik in the balls while at it.
The heckling is really stupid and low.
Human just won the match in my books.
