Bits from that press release: >...Chessbase deserves the publicity it will reap... What is this supposed to mean? How do you 'deserve' publicity if you haven't done anything yet except for paying a lot of people to make that publicity for you? >Fritz is demonstrably the best program around. They have proven it time after >time. Uhh? I would think that all of Shredder's titles would amount to something, but guess not. Who's the current world champion again? I don't think it's Fritz. >Fritz?s performance will no doubt delight and impress chess fans whether it >wins or loses. Yes, like the debacle in the Dutch Champs. We were really impressed with the planlessness and stupidity it showed vs Loek van Wely. *Really* impressed... >Fritz has trounced professional players all over the world Same goes otherwise of course. >Regardless of the result of the match, Fritz will be shown to the buying public >and we expect that all chess fans will want to run out and buy a copy, even if >it loses to the World Champion. Oh please. Like we would have missed THAT! >However, why do you think that Kramnik can defeat Fritz convincingly, when no >other Grandmaster has? Uhm, perhaps because he is the best player in the world? >In any case, ChessBase are going to benefit greatly from the match, and >deservedly so. Yes, you guys are really full of yourselves indeed. -- GCP
