Hello Christophe,

the first, a good answere !

>I have already given my point of view on this issue.

This is right.

>In short:
>1) I still do not understand the arbitrary choice of Deep Fritz, Deep Junior and
>Deep Shredder

I agreed full with you !

>2) Why is the winner of such a closed tournament supposed to perform the best
>against a player of a totally different kind?

Also this is right !

But which qualification is better as all the tourneys which Shredder won ?
We have no a better compare !

I wish me we have a better compare but unfortunately we haven´t this.
Time for organize new tournaments, I say this all the years.

>Please note that I do NOT question the integrity of the person chosen to do the
>qualifying tournament (Enrique), and that I do NOT question the fact that these
>programs are very good.

Yes I full agreed in this poinst.
The question is not Enrique, I think he make the best for all computer chess
fans. But this idea is not good.

>>You can not beat Shredder is a official tourney. So I think you must say ... the
>>best program for a match against Vladimir Kramnik is Shredder.

>You must be kidding.

>Franck, your objectivity was the guaranty of the good quality and interest of
>your tournaments, but obviously this objectivity is fading away.

No, in this poinst I have my opinion.
I will World Champion 1996, 1999, 2000, IPCCC Champion 2000, 2001 CCT Master
against World Champion Vladimir Kramnik.

I will here see not an other program.
This is for me the reward for the fantastic work from Stefan Meyer Kahlen.

>>All other opinions from other chess programmer to this case are own goals.
>>Sorry, but this is clear for me.

The text on the Millennium webpage is OK for me.

>What is not clear to me is how you can say things like "You can not beat
>Shredder in an official tourney". What are you trying to do with such a risky
>useless statement?

I have not see a tourney where Tiger make a better result compare to Shredder.
Sorry Christophe, we all know that your program is a monster and playing really
nice chess but this is for the moment not the question. If you have all the
titels what do you say in this point ?

I am World Champion of the latest years but I think we must play a qualification
tournament with Shredder, Fritz ...

This is not the right way.

Best
Frank
