But I assume that ChessBase have funded tournament participation in human GM tournaments in the past for Fritz and Junior. That is why I doubt that ChessBase wasn't consulted by Amir. Of course, it's pure speculation. But with a financial agreement existing between the two and given the commercial possibilities in a match against Kramnik, I doubt ChessBase kept absolutely quiet. >Amir wrote they negotiated, the same as Shredder could >have. No, he wrote that they negotiated _after_ Ossi said: We're out! That is something different. The negotiations didn't result in major changes, so the argument isn't valid. >The choices of the programs selected were made by Bertil and Enrique. No doubt about it, but: Invited engines->refusion by common sense->only ChessBase left. Any suspicions could have been removed by a sensible arrangement, but we've covered that one. Regards, Mogens
