So the laissez-faire attitude is somewhat free IMO. Until now, I had the impression that you are a person who writes reasonable, and sometimes quite humorous IIRC, messages. Did you now call Deep Junior a "wildcard entry"? What is this based upon? I can imagine that you wouldn't call Deep Shredder a wildcard entry - me neither. But who has played so far, and won, an event of a comparable size and importance to that Braingames aim for? *Deep Blue* only did this when it beat Kasparov. People should start to realise the dimension of what is planned here. Keeping the conditions in mind which were told to us, Deep Junior fully deserves to participate in this qualifying. Who doubts this? It isn't an act of grace to invite it, this happened in view of it's rank among chess programs, it's strength and of the successes it already has had against human masters, obviously. It doesn't depend on a "wildcard". I think this kind of talk isn't necessary. Regards, M.Scheidl
