My friend had a program that would mock and berate him. I think it was one of the Fritzes but I am not sure. It really used to get to him. He hated that program with a passion. It was really amusing to listen to him rave about the evil program, but of course he was addicted to it and loved it as much as he hated it.
Possibly it was Fritz 8 Chess De s not recommended for the easily offended! "

Originally posted by wormwoodYes, I found it a bit difficult to understand, too. But I understood that he was saying that he has no explanation for his last move, he wasn't feeling tired or unwell, and he finds it very strange himself.
sort of. with all the noise, echo and heavy russian accent I couldn't really hear what kramnik had to say...
