I doubt it, but I might be surprised... In all these posts in favor of Shredder you are making, you are forgetting one fact. They have been trying to negotiate for three months and have failed.

Also who says this has to be billed as the World Champion (Human) v The world Champion (Computer)? As I understand it they wish to play a match with the strongest computer program, there was no requrement that a known strongest already existed. Sarah.
