Go up one level in this thread


Hi Sarah,

snip ... sorry !

>a match. I know they say we don't need to play such a match as we already
>are the only qualified program, but the choice isn't to play the current world
>champion program it is to play the current strongest program.

And this is the point.
You can not sure say this is the strongest program.

I say this, a lot of very strong programs played at the moment on an very high
level. We all know that Chess Tiger, Fritz, Junior and other programs are very
strong.

In fact:
World Master of the latest years is Shredder !

The most what you say is here in my opinion not correct.

We have 2 possibilities for the moment (see not a better way).

01. Idea by Ed Schröder:
1-2 or 3 grandmasters played a tourney against the "strongest" (not sure) chess
programs of the World.

02. We organize with big firms a new and high quality World Championchip. Also
interesting in combination with humans (Point 1, idea by Ed Schröder).

Point 1 or 2 is only interesting if we have a chance to make a good publicity
for computer chess.

When not, I can not believe that the World Champion Stefan Meyer Kahlen have
interest to play a qualifikation. I speak not for Stefan (is clear) but I think
a programmer which won all important tourneys must play vs. the World Champion
Vladmir Kramnik.

Best
Frank
