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. After a draw in game 4, Kramnik lost game 5 due to a [[blunder (chess)|blunder]]. Game 6 was described by commentators as "spectacular". Kramnik, in a better position in the early [[chess middlegame|middlegame]], [[sacrifice (chess)|sacrificed]] a [[piece (chess)|piece]] to launch an attack—a strategy known to be highly risky against computers, which are at their strongest when defending such attacks. True to form, Fritz found a watertight defense and Kramnik was left in a bad position. Kramnik [[resign (chess)|resigned]] the game, believing his position to be lost. However, post-game analysis has shown that Fritz was unlikely to have been able to force a win—Kramnik gave up a drawn position.<ref>[http://www.chessbase.com/images2/2002/bahrain/games/mig6.htm Analysis of Game 6] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071007074137/http://www.chessbase.com/images2/2002/bahrain/games/mig6.htm |date=October 7, 2007 }}, by [[Mig Greengard]], [[Chessbase]]</ref> The final two games were draws.<ref>[http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=561 Fritz Defends to Draw Game 8 and the Match!
