Kramnik could say that he agrees only to play only against the world computer champion Shredder and he does not agree to play against a champion when the competition is not open for all programs. Kramnik could say that he agrees to play against a world computer champion only if there is open competition when everyone is invited. I think that kramnik is one of the people who is responsible for the joke of a match between Junior and Fritz without giving opportunities to other programs like ferret that was not invited and other parallel programs. The claim was that they are not strong enough but you cannot decide if programs are not strong enough without testing them. You cannot put all the blame on the BGN Kramnik should refuse to something that is not fair. Uri
