By the way: is it a world championchip just because to of the best players of the world played one match? If that's true and I find enough money I can play a match between Kasparow and Anand, Kasparov and Shirov, Shirov and Anand,... and can call this world championchip? I think we have one organisation which playes a championchip, so Anand is the world champion. >Deep Shredder *has not won* (nor played) a match against *Deep Blue*. > Why Shredder-Deep Blue? >I think BGN is of course aware of that they need to meet decisions, which can be >seriously argued in front of a worldwide audience. 9 rounds swiss is a weak >argument, when various strong programs, different test, match and tournament >results are around to be taken into consideration, and: none of the current >leading programs has proven yet to be in the same league as Deep Blue was. >Therefore, a qualifying was BGN's logical conclusion IMO. > >The event planned by Brain Games has a totally different dimension in terms of >hardware, publicity, influence on public opinion about chess and computer chess >etc. than an ICCA Championship.
