You got it - they get no respect. Two years ago I never heard of Shredder. Its surprise win last year was explained away by many computer-chess authorities. Now I read that Stefan's preparation for the blitz tournament may have attributed to 20% of Shredder points... The fact remains that Shredder's third (it seems) place in the main event and second in blitz are very respectable showings. All today's top programs inspire in me a sense jealousy. And if the program can do it although (admittedly) it is not the fastest tactical calculator - I am often left with the feeling of awed admiration. but then again, I always thought that Karpov's talent is more unique that Kasparov's.
