Hello, it is a very interesting match. World Champion Vladimir Kramnik vs. Computer World Champion 1996, 1999, 2000 and IPCCC Champion 2000, 2001 Shredder. I don`t believe that a winner from a living room tournament can play against WM Vladmir Kramnik. The "Donald Duck" qualifikation in a "Micky Mouse" tournament is not interesting. Compare to: Frank Quisinsky play a WinBoard tourney at home and the winner can play against Kasparov :-)) Shredder won all important tournaments and I think it is not a question which program can / must play against Vladimir Kramnik. The question for me is now: If Enrique play a quallification tournament I can`t believe that the TOP programmer will start on this tournament. In the regular tournaments no program can beat Shredder after now 33 games. So I think for the top programmers is also clear which program must play against Vladimir Kramnik. Now we will see ... I lose my interest on computer chess if I see that Shredder can`t not play directly against Vladimir Kramnik. But interesting is: After the big event Shredder vs. Kramnik a living room tournament is good enough for play after the game 1 blitz game against Vladimir Kramnik :-)) What thinking the members of CCC. I wonder if the most member have an other opinion. What thinking the programmer of Junior, Fritz, Gandalf, The King, Rebel, Hiarcs, Nimzo, Shredder, Tiger ! Yes Christophe, Ed, Amir what do you think: Do you think I will play vs. Vladimir Kramnik or do you think no Shredder must play against Vladimir Kramnik. Best Frank
