Round 4 of the confrontation Vladimir Kramnik vs. Deep Fritz in the Forum of Bundeskunsthalle at Bonn, evidenced that chess is not a game for impatient people. The round, opened by Deep Fritz, lasted about 5 hours and ended in a tie at move 54. With 1 win and 3 draws Deep Fritz is now leading the duel (2,5-1,5). This implies that the Russian World Chess Champion is under pressure; he must absolutely win the next encounter against the chess machine on 1st Advent Sunday to enforce a deciding duel on Tuesday, December 5.
