Overstating the case a bit, aren't you? I'm, otoh, quite dissapointed
with the series until now. Pretty much every game that kramnik won, it
would have won against any other computer, every game he lost, he would
have lost to every computer since about 1998 or so. The draws are
trickier to tell, but none of them seemed to show any brilliance by the
computer.

Doesn't work like that. Win is +1.0 million, draw, +0.8 million, loss
+0.6 million. win,win,win.
