This is all right ! But you will play against a World Champion and I think the World Champion will play against the Computer Chess World Champion and Shredder is World Champion from 1996, 1999, 2000 !! Ed, all programmers which can`t beat Shredder in a WM have not a chance to say I will play against Kramnik. All this programmer must say ... Shredder ist World Champion and must play against Kramnik. This is fair and I hope the TOP programmers building this opinion or we have in the near future also 2 Computer Chess World Champions or 3 or 4 ?
