Hi Ed,

yes, I like the idea and the idea to organize a very big event, the WM 2001!
We must found a way if the most of other programmers not say Deep Shredder can
play vs. Kramnik.

I think Shredder can play vs. Kramnik and we all organize for the future a
better modus for search an engine which can play vs. Kramnik.

OK, OK ...
If GM John v/d Wiel, GM Jeroen Piket and GM Seirawan (Seirawan is my favorite
player with Miles, not to do with the problematic) play here an high level event
vs. the best computer chess programs I think this is a good way. But Ed, do you
really think that this persons have interest ? Do you have good contacts to this
GMs ? And we must try that big firms give money for this event.

A new harvard tourney ... not bad ...
A good way is here ... 5 programs and 3 GMs. All against all 4 rounds !
This was great ! We have 28 games for all 5 programs.

Game in 90 minutes is a good way, 3 games daily and in 2-3 weeks.
So we can created 2 new events. This tourney and the match Kramnik vs. the
Winner of this tourney.

Best
Frank
