To all, This quote is found on https://www.computerchess.com/news_e.html#20 "SHREDDER challenges Garry Kasparov MILLENNIUM 2000 – a Munich based company which has been known as European market leader for computer chess products for many years – is representing SHREDDER, the reigning Computer Chess World Champion for all types of computers (including mainframes and parallel processor machines). This title was gained at the official World Championship 1999 in Paderborn (Germany), organised by the International Computer Chess Association (ICCA). The program by the young German software engineer Stefan Meyer-Kahlen at the same time also won the title of Microcomputer World Chess Champion for 1999 and retained this title in London during August 2000. It can't be disputed that SHREDDER is the world's most successful chess program of the past few years. For that reason it's clear that SHREDDER has earned the right to challenge the world's most successful human chess player of recent years. We therefore hereby challenge World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov to a match with the World Championship title at stake. All details regarding the playing conditions can be at Mr. Kasparov's choice: the date for the match, the number of games, the host city and venue, the rate of play, etc.. All these points and others can be decided by Mr. Kasparov because the SHREDDER team respects the needs of world's strongest chess player." I respect Stefan and his program but how much money are they willing to put up?
