| | Brains in Bahrain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Kramnik, in a better position in the early midgame, tried a spectacular piece sacrifice to achieve a strong tactical attack, a strategy known to be highly risky against computers who are at their strongest defending such attacks. | | | Kramnik won games 2 and 3 by "conventional" anti-computer tactics - play conservatively for a long-term advantage the computer is not able to see in its game tree search. | | | Given the circumstances, most commentators still rate Kramnik the stronger player in the match. |

| | For the first half of the game, Fritz strangely repeated the moves of a game that Kasparov had once played against Kramnik when the older K was dethroned as world champion. | | | In the first game, Fritz was White, which meant that it had the advantage of moving first. | | | But what the game lacked in longevity, it made up for in intrigue. |
